GRNDYE 1970 - A Program to Estimate Cardiac Output OffLine

from an Indicator Dilution Curve

An off-line program is presented which calculates cardiac
output on a PDP-8 computer. It is usable in a paper tape or
disk-monitor system. The program is sufficiently accurate,
compared with hand calculations, to be useful to the laboratory
measuring cardiac output by indicator dilution methods. It
suffers from the limitations of the Stewart-Hamilton method
itself.
