Abstract
To determine cardiac output using the indicator-dilution technique, a dye injector was developed in order to inject with precision a slug of dye, followed by a saline rinse. The injection rate is constant and is complete within 0.5 sec. The injector with its pneumatically driven injection syringes is operated by remote push button, or with a cardiac-output programmer, so that the injection is phased with the respiratory cycle. The injection syringes are self-loading and the injected volumes of either the indicator or saline are varied easily. A saline injector is also described.
