Find the CO using the thermodilution technique with the given parameters: injectate VOLUME = 15 ml, blood temperature before injection - 37degree C. injectate temperature = 23degreeC Post-injection temperature of the blood 28degree C after 12 seconds of injecting the cold saline, calibration factor = 0.02. Suggestion consider the graph of temperature change in the blood as a straight line from 37degree C to 28degree C in 12 seconds and the area under the curve approximates a rightangled triangle.
