Estimate the cardiac output


Injection of 10 ml of saline at 200 C into the right atrium gives rise to a momentary fall in Swan Ganz catheter tip temperature, which is positioned in the right pulmonary artery. This fall in temperature can be approximated to a triangle, with a maximum fall of 0.50 C and a duration2 of 7 seconds. See elsewhere for physical properties of blood and saline. Assume the initial temperature of the blood is 37.00 C. Estimate Cardiac Output in l/min.
