PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - The first peer-reviewed, journal publication describing the clinical utility of the pulmonary artery catheter (i.e., PA catheter, Swan–Ganz catheter) dates its roots to H. J. Swan’s original publication in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1970, although the experimental concept of the catheter was described much earlier by Lategola and Rahn in 1953. Since its inception, the clinical use of the PA catheter has become a prevalent intra-operative monitoring modality during complex cardiovascular, thoracic, and organ transplant operations, as well as during the postoperative period in the management of critically ill patients. The PA catheter allows clinicians to easily and rapidly transduce a patient’s central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), as well as measure a patient’s temperature, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, mixed venous oxygen saturation (MVO2), systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance (SVR and PVR), and calculate a patient’s cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI).
