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.
