Which scientific principle is the basis of the thermodilution method used in the measurement of cardiac output
Hagen-poiseuille principle
Bernoulli's principle
Stewart-hamilton principle
Universal gas equation
Thermodilution is an indicator dilution technique. In indicator dilution techniques cardiac output is called using stewart - Hamilton equation.


Cardiac output is equal to the amount of indicator injected divided by its average concentration in arterial blood after a single circulation through the heart, called as stewart Hamilton principle.
