Optimal technical conditions for the thermodilution measurement
1
Correct patient data input (Category, Gender, Date of birth, Height and Weight)
2
Correct injectate volume input and application
3
Injection through distal lumen preferably (other lumen also possible)
4
Injectate sensor housing mounting in 90 degree angle
5
No additional extensions or stop-cocks between injectate sensor housing and CVC lumen
6
Strictly avoid infusion of any drugs (especially vasoactive or inotropic) at the injection lumen
7
Avoid infusion of parenteral nutrition (high caloric or fatty solutions) or blood through the injectate sensor housing
