Ultrasound guided pulmonary artery catheter insertion: An alternative to fluoroscopic guidance
Pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) can provide extremely valuable objective data in select patients. They are usually advanced by floatation of balloon tip along the normal blood flow and their placement is confirmed under pressure waveform guidance ...

Echocardiography versus right heart catheterization in class I pulmonary hypertension
It has been agreed that pulmonary hypertension should be determined by right heart catheterization. However, being invasive and refused by many patients, echocardiography was thought to be a reasonable substitute to determine a solid diagnosis of ...

Zero-Heat-Flux Thermometry for Non-Invasive Measurement of Core Body Temperature in Pigs.
Hypothermia is a severe, unpleasant side effect during general anesthesia. Thus, temperature surveillance is a prerequisite in general anesthesia settings during experimental surgeries.

Assessment of Pulmonary Vascular Impedance in Patients With Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary vascular impedance (PVZ) was calculated from clinical PA pressure and RVOT flow velocity profiles. Participants with increased pulmonary vascular resistance have increased PVZ, afterload, and diastolic stiffness. The characteristic impedance (ZC) to mean PA pressure relationship models the effect of proximal vasculature remodeling on ZC for a

ABSTRACT Background Intensive care following resuscitation from out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is based on a set of interventions, all of which are intended to reduce anoxic brain injury and improve outcomes, including sedation, mechanical ventilation, circulatory optimization, and temperature control protocols.

In cardiac surgery, Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) is often necessary and is inserted before the intervention through an introducer catheter. Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent complication of this procedure and often remains subclinical. The aims
