Swan-Ganz Catheterization - Application, Interpretation and Complications
Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1982Considering 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 ...

Neurosurgery, 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 ...

Pitfalls of Swan‐Ganz catheterization
Critical Care Medicine, 1977In 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.

Swan‐Ganz catheterization in the critically ill newborn
Critical Care Medicine, 1979The 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.

The role of Swan-Ganz catheterization in severe pregnancy-induced hypertension.
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984Swan-Ganz catheterization was performed in 15 postpartum women who presented with severe pregnancy-induced hypertension at a mean gestational age of 31.5 weeks. The mean arterial pressure on presentation was 137.6 torr (range, 116 to 167 torr), and it remained at approximately 115 torr for the next 72 hours.

Fatal pulmonary hemorrhage complicating Swan-Ganz catheterization.
Surgery, 1982A 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.

Use of the Swan-Ganz catheter in cardiac catheterization of infants and children.
American Heart Journal, 1972Abstract The Swan-Ganz balloon catheter was used during cardiac catheterization of 40 infants and children. The flow directional properties of the catheter proved useful in manipulating it into the great arteries of the patients with complex cardiac anomalies and in passing it from the left atrium and ventricle into the aorta in order to avoid an ...

Autonomic failure in Guillain-Barré syndrome--value of Swan-Ganz catheterization.
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979To 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 ...

Transseptal left-heart catheterization with Swan-Ganz flow-directed catheter.
American Heart Journal, 1983Four 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.
