متن کاملunexpected collection of pulmonary venous blood from a pulmonary artery catheter: a case report
conclusions our case highlights the fact that the tip of the pulmonary artery catheter can easily advance into a peripheral branch of the pulmonary artery and cause pulmonary venous blood to be sampled instead of pulmonary arterial blood. a variety of monitoring techniques are needed to confirm accurate catheter placement. background pressure and waveform at the catheter tip are continuously mo...
متن کاملThe pulmonary artery catheter.
Clinical Medicine Vol 2 No 2 March/April 2002 101 The flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been in clinical use since its introduction by Swan and colleagues in 19701. During that time it has become widely used in critical care units throughout the world and is now the most commonly utilised form of flow monitoring. The haemodynamic data obtained with a PAC are used to monitor and ...
