Excerpt

Recently, less invasive cardiovascular monitoring with transpulmonary thermodilution with the PiCCO system using a central venous line and an arterial thermodilution catheter got increasingly popular. In the last issue of the Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, the opinion was stated that a single cold saline injection is sufficient to adequately measure cardiac output and derived thermodilution parameters [1]. Since there are no reported investigations in the literature on the subject, we wanted to examine this hypothesis. …
