TOPIC. The parameters of the diagnoses decreased cardiac output.
PURPOSE. To propose an alternative conceptual structure for cardiac output that links conceptual parameters with clinical and hemodynamic data.
SOURCE. Past discussions and research investigations
CONCLUSION. Careful analysis illustrates several diagnoses are contained within cardiac output at differing levels of abstraction. Testing of the model, including linking diagnoses with nursing interventions and outcomes, is suggested.
