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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Indications for Swan-Ganz catheterization.
Heart disease and stroke : a journal for primary care physicians, 1994The Swan-Ganz catheter provides a relatively easy means of obtaining a wealth of information about intracardiac pressures and flows. The catheter also is useful for intracardiac pacing. Because any invasive procedure entails some risk, albeit small in the case of the Swan-Ganz catheter, insertion of a catheter usually is reserved for hemodynamically ...

Fatal pulmonary hemorrhage complicating Swan-Ganz catheterization.
Surgery, 1982A case of fatal pulmonary hemorrhage secondary to catheterization with a balloon-tipped catheter is described, and the literature describing possible mechanisms for this complication is reviewed. A common denominator in patients suffering pulmonary hemorrhage is pulmonary hypertension. Recommendations for management of this complication are discussed.

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 ...

Transseptal left-heart catheterization with Swan-Ganz flow-directed catheter
American Heart Journal, 1983Four cases of transseptal left-heart catheterization with the use of a Swan-Ganz flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter are reported. An 8.5F Teflon catheter covered with a Teflon tube (4 mm outer diameter) was inserted into the left atrium by the Brockenbrough technique.

[Perforation of the pulmonary artery following Swan-Ganz catheterization].
Annales francaises d'anesthesie et de reanimation, 1989Pulmonary arterial rupture due to the use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is a rare accident, with an estimated 2% incidence rate. It is fatal in almost 50% of cases. Predisposing factors are age greater than 60 years, pulmonary arterial hypertension and anticoagulant treatment. In patients older than 60 years, changes in the arterial wall increase the risk of
