    AbstractA thermodilution method of obtaining continuous cardiac outputs represents an improvement in the assessment and treatment of critically ill patients. The critical care nurse assists in placement of the pulmonary artery catheter, which includes a thermal filament for continuous readings of cardiac output, and uses the continuous cardiac output readings to make assessment decisions and trouble-shoot the equipment.
