Ventricular Arrhythmias During Swan-Ganz Catheterization of the Critically III

open access: yesChest, 1981
The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in critically-ill patients during bedside right-sided heart catheterization with a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter was determined. Twenty-nine of 60 catheterizations (48 percent) were associated with premature ventricular contractions and 20 (33 percent) were associated with ventricular tachycardia.

Swan-Ganz Catheterization - Application, Interpretation and Complications

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 ...

Horner's syndrome secondary to Swan-Ganz catheterization

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.

Complications of Swan-Ganz Catheterization for Hemodynamic Monitoring in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

open access: yesNeurosurgery, 1995
Invasive hemodynamic monitoring has become standard in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This study is a retrospective analysis of 630 Swan-Ganz catheters placed in 184 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Evaluation of complications demonstrated a 13% incidence of catheter-related sepsis (81 of 630 catheters), a 2 ...

Transseptal left-heart catheterization with Swan-Ganz flow-directed catheter

American Heart Journal, 1983
Four cases of transseptal left-heart catheterization with the use of a Swan-Ganz flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter are reported. An 8.5F Teflon catheter covered with a Teflon tube (4 mm outer diameter) was inserted into the left atrium by the Brockenbrough technique.

Autonomic Failure in Guillain-Barré Syndrome— Value of Swan-Ganz Catheterization

open access: yesJAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
To the Editor.— Idiopathic polyneuritis (Guillain-Barre syndrome) is a distinctive disorder characterized by ascending paralysis, areflexia, and elevated CSF protein. Sudden death is seen, and although there are numerous possibilities in these bedridden patients (eg, myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism), it has been assumed that the bulk of ...

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.
