This study materialized the new module which enables to measure more precise data than the existing modules in order to examine the cardiac disorder critical patient's state by using Swan-Ganz Catheter. There was bolus type CO(Cardiac Output) module which measured CO by measuring the blood changes in temperature and recovery time by injecting cold sap into the heart in the past, but recently, it is not used in most of hospitals due to limit of difficulty of continuous monitoring for the patients. To overcome this limit, the continuous cardiac output measurement platform was materialized to enable the continuous monitoring for patients. The wasted cost issues because of introducing the expensive imported equipment to observe the critical patient`s state with abnormal cardiopulmonary function in the hospitals can be solved by using this new module, and the problem of existing modules should be supplemented for more accurate diagnosis by collecting more precise data.

In this paper, on cardiopulmonary function in the intensive care unit over the direction of the state to define the diagnostic or therapeutic cardiac output Study on Implementation of measures as a platform, Swan-Ganz Catheter with sensor inserted into the body by inserting a saline solution Using temperature change caused by using thermodilution be used to obtain cardiac output. Swan-Ganz Catheter with temperature sensors and pressure sensors and sensor value which is entered through the acquisition more closely if the cardiac output CO, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance, oxygen consumption and may be able to more accurately calculate the patient's condition than accurate diagnosis and treatment is possible.
