- Prepare cold saline solution (3x15ml minimum)
- Start thermodilution at the device
- Observe screen messages and when recommended...
- Inject bolus rapidly and steadily into the distal lumen of the CVC
- Observe the thermodilution curve on the screen
- Check that ΔT≥ 0.2°, if not use more indicator (colder or more volume)
- Repeat STEP 2 to 4 until 3 satisfying measurements are obtained and confirm with
calibrate (values deviations < 15% from the mean)
- Enter the CVP value (to calculate SVRI)
