Wilbert Aarnoudse and colleagues, Journal of the American College of Cardiology 50(24), 2294–2304 (2007), DOI https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2007.08.047 . Primary byline and abstract, Methods: continuous saline infusion with an infusion catheter and pressure/temperature-sensing guidewire; validation in five dogs and 35 patients. The method estimates volumetric flow, not blood oxygen content.
Additional precise locators from the primary indexed abstract: Methods specifies a 2.8-F infusion catheter and a 0.014-inch pressure/temperature-sensing guidewire. Results gives the canine comparison regression $Q_{\mathrm{thermo}}=0.73Q+42\,\mathrm{mL/min}$, with $R^2=0.72$.
