  • Title: Thromboresistant surface coatings for the measurement of cardiac output through continuous low flow peripheral A-V shunts.
    Author: Deeb GM, Borovetz HS, Griffith BP, Hardesty RL.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1980 Jan; 191(1):114-6. PubMed ID: 6986120.
    Abstract:
    The dilution technique for determining cardiac output using indocyanine green dye is limited in patients weighing less than 20 kg because of the obligatory volume loss. Reproducible achieved using the green dye dilution method by the establishment of a low flow peripheral arteriovenous shunt. The shunt materials were treated with thromboresistant agents--TDMAC (7%) and albumin (1 g/dl)--to facilitate the use of this technique without heparin. For A-V shunt flow rates of 8-30 cc/min reproducible values of cardiac output were obtained for up to 38 hours which were in good agreement with determinations made using the conventional technique of dye dilution.
