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).
