**Summary** Thermodilution cardiac output measurement assumes that the temperature within the pulmonary artery is stable during the measurement period. This may not be achieved in clinical practice because of temperature changes that are not solely produced by the thermal indicator. Such temperature
## Abstract It is important to measure the exact volume of 5% dextrose injected when thermodilution cardiac output determinations are made. The marked volume on plastic syringes and their variability may contribute to a small but significant error in the results.
