Thermal and conductivity dilution curves for rapid quantitation of pulmonary edema.

A comparison of thermal and dye dilution methods of determining cardiac output

“…In these experiments we were quantitating pulmonary oedema, which requires an intravascular indicator and is the reason for the use of 3 per cent saline as injectate. 15 The thermodilution technique offers a number of advantages. It has virtually unlimited repeatability, as any physiological solution can be used as an indicator.…”

Pulmonary vascular effects of acetylsalicylic acid, chloroquine, dextran and methylprednisolone given after haemorrhagic shock in dogs

“…There were five dogs in each group. Anaesthesia was induced and maintained with intravenous pentabarbitone (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) mg/kg initially with supplements as necessary to maintain light anaesthesia). A traeheostomy was done.…”

The effects of dobutamine, nitroprusside, or volume expansion on cardiac output and lung water after CPPV

“…5 Cardiac output, central blood volume (CBV), and lung water (ETVL) were measured using the thermodilution double indicator technique. [6][7][8] Pulmonary microvascular pressure (Pmv) was For each determination of ETVL 5 ml of room temperature three per cent saline were injected into the PA. The midpoint of injection and the difference between injectate temperature in the pulmonary artery and dog blood temperature were computed.…”
