[The determination of cardiac output by the dilution of ultrasonic blood density].
The authors propose assessing cardiac output (CO) by diluting the blood ultrasonic properties. For measuring CO, the peripheral artery and vein were connected with a catheter, and ultrasonic flowmetric pickup was attached to the shunt. Indicator (0.9% sodium chloride) was injected into the central vein. Changes in the blood ultrasonic characteristics during the indicator flow were recorded by ultrasonic flowmeter. Dilution curves were computer processed. The method was tried in 7 experimental dogs and clinically in 11 patients and compared with the thermodilution method. The coefficient of correlation was 0.98 in experiment and 0.97 in clinical trials. Dilution of ultrasonic density of the blood helps accurately assess the CO and is highly informative, which is confirmed by a strong correlation with the results of thermodilution. The method is simple, little invasive, realized using available equipment, the indicators are cheap and available, and repeated studies can be performed within short periods of time.
