13 Monitoring Cardiac Output

Hemodynamic Parameters
This table illustrates the hemodynamic parameters available with each method, whether they are
measured continuously, and whether they can be shown on the monitor's main screen or in the
Hemodynamic Calculations window.
* currently not available in the U.S.A. and territories relying on FDA market clearance.
NOTE
EVLWI is calculated using Ideal Body Weight (IBW). ITBVI and GEDVI are calculated using Ideal
Body Surface Area (IBSA). IBW and IBSA are based on the patient category, gender and height that
you have entered for the patient.
Using the C.O. Procedure Window
The procedure window displays up to six trials (measurement curves) with the trial number and the
C.O. value under the thermodilution curve. When you open the window, a line of pop-up keys
automatically appears to let you carry out C.O.-related tasks. This example shows the procedure
window for the transpulmonary (PiCCO) Method. The window may be configured to look slightly
different on your monitor.
