A simple method to pass a pulmonary artery flotation catheter rapidly into the pulmonary artery in anaesthetized patients.
BACKGROUND In some patients passage of a pulmonary artery flotation catheter (PAFC) into the pulmonary artery may be difficult and time consuming and the prolonged manipulation can cause ventricular arrhythmias. A simple clinical method used during general anaesthesia is presented to allow rapid passage of a PAFC into the pulmonary artery. METHODS The operating table is positioned head up and...

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 ...
متن کاملPulmonary artery catheter-induced hemorrhage.
Pulmonary artery rupture by a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter is a rare complication if guidelines for insertion of catheters are strictly applied. It should be stressed that the need for a "confirmed" wedge pressure should be weighed against the very real risk of this potentially fatal complication. Users of this catheter should expect and anticipate distal migration of the catheter tip....

متن کاملCardiogenic shock in right ventricular infarction managed with a combined thermodilution and pacing pulmonary artery flotation catheter.
When cardiogenic shock complicates right ventricular infarction it is widely appreciated that rational therapy can only be achieved by use of plasma volume expansion and inotropic agents guided by invasive monitoring (Cohn et al., 1974). In these cases, there is a high incidence of symptomatic heart block and serious atrial and ventricular dysrhythmias (Cohn, 1979). Thus, venous access may be r...
