We have developed a menu-driven computer program (CARDIO), based on a Lotus l-2-3 template and a series of macrocommands, that rapidly and semiautomatically calculates cardiac output from dye or thermal dilution curves. CARD10 works with any dye or thermal dilution recorder with an analog output, an

β¦ Synopsis
An accurate, rapid calculation of Cardiac Output is of great importance during the treatment of critically ill patients. This pap?r describes a complete, self-contained mini-computer system, based on a Data General NOVA 1220 which can accurately sample data and compute the results in about 30 sec. The system uses the thermodilution method with a Swan-Ganz catheter to collect data and a weighted least-squares technique to compute the results.

The use of a digital computer to calculate cardiac catheterization data has been studied. The equipment and programming logic used by our laboratory are described. Specific features of on-line data transmission, cardiologist-computer interaction utilizing a series of on-off signals to prompt the com
This paper presents the logic and details of a FORTRAN computer program which fits a two parameter catenary curve, using the method of least squares, to a set of data points arising from an exact size photograph of a dental model. Error is assessed by evaluating the difference between the observed a
A FORTRAN computer program written to perform a distribution-free analysis of growth and response curves is described. The underlying statistical methodology is particularly applicable with incomplete observations, and in situations where parametric models for growth may not be appropriate. FORTRAN
