Pitfalls of Swan-Ganz catheterization

Critical Care Medicine, 1977
In 60 patients in whom Swan-Ganz catheters apparently had been positioned correctly, the balloon was visualized by inflation with radiopaque contrast medium. Sixteen were located peripherrally; in 15 of these 16, the balloon inflated eccentrically and in each of these instances, an accurate wedge pressure could not be obtained.

Osteomyelitis of the Clavicle After Swan-Ganz Catheterization

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983
• Osteomyelitis of the clavicle is an uncommon complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. The diagnosis should be suspected when the clinical features of fever and sternoclavicular pain are present. Traditional roentgenograms may be falsely normal early in the disease.

Horner's syndrome secondary to Swan-Ganz catheterization

The American Journal of Medicine, 1985
A preganglionic Horner's syndrome developed shortly after ipsilateral percutaneous insertion of a Swan-Ganz catheter in the internal jugular vein for management of pulmonary edema. There were no other neurologic findings nor evidence of mass lesions in the neck or pulmonary apex.

Swan-Ganz catheterization in the critically ill newborn

Critical Care Medicine, 1979
The authors placed Swan-Ganz catheters in 11 preterm and 2 term infants with severe cardiopulmonary distress. The infants ranged in weight from 1100-4000 g. The procedure was performed in the neonatal ICU by jugular venous cutdown. Intracardiac pressures and oxygen saturations were measured in each chamber entered.

Fatal pulmonary hemorrhage complicating Swan-Ganz catheterization.

Surgery, 1982
A 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.

Swan-Ganz Catheterization - Application, Interpretation and Complications

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1982
Considering 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 ...
