Pitfalls of Swan-Ganz catheterization
Critical Care Medicine, 1977In 60 patients in whom Swan-Ganz catheters apparently had been positioned correctly, the balloon was visualized by inflation with radiopaque contrast medium. Sixteen were located peripherrally; in 15 of these 16, the balloon inflated eccentrically and in each of these instances, an accurate wedge pressure could not be obtained.

Osteomyelitis of the Clavicle After Swan-Ganz Catheterization
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983Osteomyelitis of the clavicle is an uncommon complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. The diagnosis should be suspected when the clinical features of fever and sterno-clavicular pain are present. Traditional roentgenograms may be falsely normal early in the disease.

Horner's syndrome secondary to Swan-Ganz catheterization
The American Journal of Medicine, 1985A preganglionic Horner's syndrome developed shortly after ipsilateral percutaneous insertion of a Swan-Ganz catheter in the internal jugular vein for management of pulmonary edema. There were no other neurologic findings nor evidence of mass lesions in the neck or pulmonary apex.

Swan-Ganz catheterization in the critically ill newborn
Critical Care Medicine, 1979The authors placed Swan-Ganz catheters in 11 preterm and 2 term infants with severe cardiopulmonary distress. The infants ranged in weight from 1100-4000 g. The procedure was performed in the neonatal ICU by jugular venous cutdown. Intracardiac pressures and oxygen saturations were measured in each chamber entered.

Ventricular Arrhythmias During Swan-Ganz Catheterization of the Critically III
Chest, 1981The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in critically-ill patients during bedside right-sided heart catheterization with a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter was determined. Twenty-nine of 60 catheterizations (48 percent) were associated with premature ventricular contractions and 20 (33 percent) were associated with ventricular tachycardia.

The role of Swan-Ganz catheterization in severe pregnancy-induced hypertension
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984Swan-Ganz catheterization was performed in 15 postpartum women who presented with severe pregnancy-induced hypertension at a mean gestational age of 31.5 weeks. The mean arterial pressure on presentation was 137.6 torr (range, 116 to 167 torr), and it remained at approximately 115 torr for the next 72 hours.

Use of the Swan-Ganz catheter in cardiac catheterization of infants and children
American Heart Journal, 1972Abstract The Swan-Ganz balloon catheter was used during cardiac catheterization of 40 infants and children. The flow directional properties of the catheter proved useful in manipulating it into the great arteries of the patients with complex cardiac anomalies and in passing it from the left atrium and ventricle into the aorta in order to avoid an ...

Neurosurgery, 1995
Invasive hemodynamic monitoring has become standard in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This study is a retrospective analysis of 630 Swan-Ganz catheters placed in 184 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Evaluation of complications demonstrated a 13% incidence of catheter-related sepsis (81 of 630 catheters), a 2 ...

Swan-Ganz Catheterization - Application, Interpretation and Complications
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1982Considering the wide use of Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring, remarkably little serious morbidity and mortality has been reported. It is my belief that continued formal training in this technique is the best way to minimize the complication rate. Since its use involves far more important skills than the ability to insert a catheter into the venous ...
