How do I perform the thermodilution demonstration?

Resume the monitor and select Inject 10 mL.

Overview

The thermodilution panel displays a synthetic 30-second temperature curve at 5× replay, completing in about six seconds. It is below the cardiac graphics. Enable it in Traces if it is hidden.

The output appears in both the thermodilution panel and hemodynamic summary after the complete curve. Injection is unavailable while paused, during an ongoing measurement or when there is no forward flow. Changing the scenario, flow or pressure settings clears the measurement; Reset clears it too.

Measurement details explains the selected error model. The panel is a teaching replay, not a clinical injection-timing or equipment-training tool.

Step by step

  1. Show Thermodilution in Traces.
  2. Resume playback.
  3. Select Inject 10 mL and allow the curve to finish.
  4. Compare TD output with forward flow and open Measurement details.
