16.4 Preparation for CCO Monitoring
Please refer to the following figure and procedure to set up the CCO monitoring:
1. Arterial thermodilution catheter
2. Blood temperature sensor
3. Central venous catheter
4. PiCCO cable
5. Injectate temperature sensor cable
6. Injectate temperature sensor
7. IBP cable
8. Arterial pressure transducer
9. CVP transducer
1. Place the arterial thermodilution catheter.
WARNING
The arterial thermodilution catheter must be placed in one of the bigger systemic arteries, for
example, the femoral, the brachial or the axillary artery.
You must use the approved catheters and puncture locations.
2. Place the central venous catheter.
3. Connect the injectate temperature sensor to the central venous catheter.
4. Plug the PiCCO cable into the CCO/C.O. connector on the PiCCO module, and connect the following devices to the
PiCCO cable:
Injectate temperature sensor probe
Blood temperature sensor connector.
5. Connect one end of the arterial pressure transducer to the arterial thermodilution catheter and the other end to the
IBP cable marked with pArt.
