## Abstract A thermodilution technique is used to measure the flow of hemolymph through the heart of crabs. The technique consists of injecting a small volume of cold filtered sea water into the ventricle and monitoring temperature changes with time in an artery immediately downstream from the hear

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. T
**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
