A liquid meter assembly for collecting, metering and monitoring liquid is disclosed. The assembly comprises a container for collecting the liquid, an electrically powered strain gauge suspension device for supporting the container and for determining the weight of the liquid collected in the container and a handle on the container for interconnecting with the strain gauge suspension device. A length of tubing is attached to the container and adapted for interconnecting with the source of the liquid. A tubing support system is included on the strain gauge suspension device for fixedly supporting the tubing to substantially inhibit influence on weight determination due to any movement thereon. A power supply is included in the assembly for supplying power to the strain gauge suspension device.

A thermodilution injectate assembly which includes a length of flexible tubing for introducing fluid from a solution container to the assembly. An insulated container which holds a heat exchange medium and into which is positioned a substantially flat plate heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes an inlet port and an outlet port and a fluid-flow path therebetween, which path provides a heat exchange relationship between fluid flowing through the path and the heat exchange medium. A dual directional valve is connected to the outlet port of the heat exchanger and to the solution container. A three-ported stopcock is in fluid-flow communication with the dual directional valve. A syringe is connected to a port on the three-ported stopcock and a length of flexible tubing is connected to a port on the three-ported stopcock for delivering the cooled fluid to a patient for monitoring the cardiac output. The flexible tubing can be connected to a catheter which is inserted in the patient, which catheter includes a temperature probe.
