CARDIO--a Lotus 1-2-3 based computer program for rapid calculation of cardiac output from dye or thermal dilution curves.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a menu-driven computer program (CARDIO), based on a Lotus 1-2-3 template and a series of macrocommands, that rapidly and semiautomatically calculates cardiac output from dye or thermal dilution curves. CARDIO works with any dye or thermal dilution recorder with an analog output, any analog to digital (A-to-D) conversion system, and any computer capable of running Lotus 1-2-3 version 2. No prior experience with Lotus 1-2-3 is needed to operate CARDIO, but experienced users can take full advantage of Lotus 1-2-3's graphics, data manipulation, and data retrieval capabilities.

On-line computation of cardiac output from dye dilution curves.
• Calculation of cardiac output from dye dilution curves as described by Hamilton has been well verified.' 3 The technique of calculating the cardiac output with the use of a planimeter or replotting on log paper is tedious and-often inexact. Furthermore, the necessary long delay between the dye injection and the availability of the result has limited the use of this technique in medical resear...

The measurement of cardiac output is difficult in infants and children. In them the Fick and dye dilution methods both have distinct disadvantages. The Fick method requires cumbersome equipment, especially for measuring oxygen uptake. The dye dilution method requires the injection of a dye and the placement of an arterial catheter to sample large quantities of blood rapidly; furthermore, it is ...

THE PURPOSE of this paper is to present a mathematical model of dilution curves obtained by precordial detection of concentration of an intravenously injected radioactive tracer. The analysis makes possible formulation of equations relating parameters of the curve to cofunctions of the curve, such as cardiac output, central circulating blood volume, and volume of heart chambers. The presentatio...

متن کاملDye dilution curves and cardiac output in newborn infants.
The pattern of ldye dilution curves and the cardiac output was studied in 29 healthy newborn infants during the first 26 hours of life by the method of Wood and his associates. Thirty-six per cent of all infants studied had curves of normal contour which occurred mostly in infants older than 15 hours. Infants younger than 15 hours tended to have curves of abnormal shape. These were either di-ph...
