Secondary migration of a pre-existing central venous catheter due to a Swan-Ganz catheter insertion - A case report - [PDF]
Background The entanglement of multiple central venous catheters is a rare and serious complication. The Swan-Ganz catheter is a responsible for various cases.

Continuous cardiac output measured with a Swan‐Ganz catheter reacts too slowly in animal experiments with sudden circulatory failure [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In many animal experiments, it is vital to detect sudden changes in cardiac output (CO). This porcine study compared CO that was measured with a Swan‐Ganz pulmonary catheter with the gold standard (which was a transit‐time flow probe around ...

Pacing in Left Bundle-Branch Block During Swan-Ganz Catheterization [PDF]
To the Editor. —We read with interest the recent article by Morris and colleagues 1 that reported a fairly low rate of developing complete heart block (CHB) during Swan-Ganz (SG) catheterization in patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB). We feel that this is an important finding since several sources, including recent advanced cardiac life ...

Hemodynamic management during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: a narrative review of proper targets for safe execution and troubleshooting [PDF]
Off-pump coronary surgery requires mechanical cardiac displacement, which results in bi-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Although transient, subsequent hemodynamic deterioration can be associated with poor prognosis and, in extreme cases ...

The Influence of Limited Dynamic Response of the Indicator Detector in a Swan-Ganz Catheter on the Overestimation of Cardiac Output Measurement By Means of Thermodilution [PDF]
Nowadays the “gold clinical standard” of hemodynamics diagnostic and cardiac output measurements is pulmonary artery catheterization by means of the Swan-Ganz catheter and thermodilution.
