Since 1970, pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) have been used in clinical practice to monitor the hemodynamic status of critically ill and injured patients. This technology was introduced and commercialized without considerable testing to determine safety and efficacy.

Movement of pulmonary artery catheters
Heart and Vessels, 1996Intraluminal movements of pulmonary artery catheters are seldom considered, although they may have a significant impact on flow measurement and safety. The purpose of this study was to document the movements of these catheters within the heart cycle, and to establish whether any patterns existed.

Thrombogenicity of pulmonary-artery catheters
Intensive Care Medicine, 1987The thrombogenicity of heparin-bonded and non-heparin-bonded pulmonary-artery catheters was compared by means of pull-out phlebography in a prospective, randomized clinical study of 20 patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). The duration of catheterization averaged 47.4 +/- 4.1 h in the heparin-bonded group (10 patients) and 45.7 +/- 7.1 h in the non-

Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2012
The pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been widely used for monitoring of critically ill patients over the years, but with advances in less invasive monitoring techniques, notably echocardiography, there are fewer indications for PAC insertion. Nevertheless, the PAC provides simultaneous monitoring of pulmonary artery pressures, cardiac filling ...

Misplacement of a Pulmonary Artery Catheter
A & A Case Reports, 2014Placing a flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) can be difficult and lead to serious complications. We present the case of an attempted PAC insertion in a patient undergoing implantation of a left ventricular assist device. Although physiologic pressure waveforms were established, plausible measurements of cardiac output and pulmonary capillary

Catheter colonization and bacteremia with pulmonary and arterial catheters
Critical Care Medicine, 1982We prospectively studied the incidence of catheter-related sepsis in 51 critically ill patients who underwent 52 arterial and 37 pulmonary artery catheterizations over a period of 3 months. Daily cultures of blood and catheter insertion site were done and the catheters were cultured semiquantitatively at the time of removal.
