Question 319

variables measured in thermodilution on x and y axis

Answer 319

Question 320

principle of thermodilution analagy and how it works for real

Answer 320

Imagine you have a bucket with an unknown volume of water. If you measure the temperature of the bucket before and after adding 10 mL of iced water, you should be able to calculate the volume in the bucket (the greater the volume, the smaller the change in temperature). if the flow that dilutes the injectate is high, the change in temperature effected will be small and if the flow is going fast, the dip in temperature will be momentary and quickly gone. Thus, high cardiac output will cause a small, narrow peak and low cardiac output will cause a tall, wide peak
