Cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressure. Use for evaluation of fluid replacement in trauma patients.

Archives of Surgery, 1977
Cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP) were used to evaluate the end point of fluid resuscitation in 20 patients suffering from multiple trauma and shock.

The validity of determinations of pulmonary wedge pressure during mechanical ventilation.

Chest, 1978
Changes in the mean pulmonary wedge pressure were measured during temporary disconnection from a ventilator in 29 patients to assess the effects of therapy with controlled-volume ventilation on determinations of pulmonary wedge pressure.

Cardiac-Pulmonary Edema and Low Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure

Southern Medical Journal, 1979
We describe a patient who presented with acute massive pulmonary edema, clinically and on chest roentgenogram. Two hours later the patient became hypotensive and was found to have a low pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). The blood pressure returned to normal after administration of fluids.

Left ventricular filling pattern and pulmonary wedge pressure are closely related in patients with recent anterior myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction.

European Heart Journal, 1992
To determine whether mitral flow velocity can be used to estimate mean pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP) in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, 50 patients with recent Q-wave anterior infarction and a reduced ejection fraction (less than 40 ...

A Noninvasive Method of Predicting Pulmonary-Capillary Wedge Pressure

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1992
The noninvasive prediction of pulmonary-capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is important for the recognition and treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. The response of the arterial pressure to the Valsalva maneuver has been shown to correlate with the PCWP.

Comparison of pulmonary wedge and left atrial pressure in man

American Heart Journal, 1973
Abstract Values of mean pulmonary wedge and mean left atrial pressure were compared in 700 patients including normals and patients with a variety of heart diseases. An over-all correlation coefficient r = 0.93 was found between mean wedge and mean left atrial pressure and this correlation was unrelated to the etiology of the heart disease.

Elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in a patient with hypovolemia

Journal of Clinical Monitoring, 1987
Since its introduction in 1969, the balloon-tipped pulmonary artery catheter has become widely accepted. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressures have been used diagnostically to determine left ventricular preload and volume status. We report on a patient with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, secondary to a heroin overdose, who was hypovolemic and had an ...

Pulmonary artery wedge pressures in congenital heart disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1977
AbstractThe bilateral measurement of pulmonary artery wedge pressure is essential in the cardiac catheterization evaluation of all patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. Five cases of pulmonary venous obstruction are presented, 4 of whom had additional intracardiac defects.

Factors influencing the character of the pulmonary arterial wedge pressure

American Heart Journal, 1956
Abstract Appraisal of the contour of pulmonary wedge pressure curves of sixty-three human subjects with normal hemodynamics, rheumatic valvular disease, or congenital heart disease, relative to pulmonary arteriolar resistance, mean pulmonary wedge pressure and, in one-third of the cases, left atrial pulse contour, led to the following conclusions ...

The effect of Swan-Ganz catheter height on the wedge pressure-left atrial pressure relationships in edema during positive-pressure ventilation.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
We have studied the effect of the ventrical height of the pulmonary wedge catheter in the lung on the pulmonary wedge pressure-left atrial relationship during positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation in oleic acid-induced pulmonary edema.
