Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Since pulmonary artery (PA) catheters were introduced in the early 1970s, cardiac output (CO) measurement has become a readily available clinical tool for the diagnosis of hemodynamic disturbances in critically ill patients. Randomized studies have not proven that PA catheters yield improved outcomes; therefore, caution should be used prior to clinical application. As an alternative, less invasive technologies to provide CO monitoring are now available.
