The document provides instructions for displaying cardiac output (CO) as a live calculated channel during pressure-volume recordings using AD Instruments LabChart software. The steps include: 1) Setting up the volume channel unit conversion, 2) Creating a 5th calculated channel called "Cardiac Output", 3) Selecting "Cardiac Output" from the PV Loop menu for the 5th channel, and 4) Viewing the live CO value during data collection. The document also notes that the hemodynamic table can be customized to only display CO.
