taken. The blood temperature is measured by the thermistor situated in the
distal end of the catheter in the pulmonary artery (see Figure 16-5).
„ The blood temperature alarm is disabled during the blood temperature
measurement. When the measurement ends, the alarm is enabled automatically.
„ The currently measured blood pressure is displayed in the CO parameter
window.
