A device is developed that the resistance to the flow of blood through a pressure measurement, a valve determines, thanks to the thermo-dilution method, and then, on the basis of only the pressure measurements in different compartments of the heart, the cardiac output continuously calculates, ...
In multivariate analysis, blood lactate is the best indicator of the degree of shock (superior to blood pressure, heart rate, urine output, base deficit, blood gas and Swan-Ganz data) and is proportional to the shed blood volume. Blood lactate levels correlate with a trauma patient's chances...

Transcutaneous sensors using the Zero-Heat-Flux (ZHF) and Double-Sensor (DS) technology have been developed and evaluated in a variety of clinical settings. The present study is the first to compare the performance of both sensors simultaneously with temperature measured by a Swan-Ganz catheter (...

This study compared these techniques in a critically ill population. METHODS: Forty consecutive patients with indwelling Swan-Ganz catheters in the surgical intensive care unit were prospectively studied while under the consultative care of the nutrition support service. REE was determined in all ...
We measured the FVD and FAD by ultrasound. We monitored CVP by a central venous catheter and mPAP by a Swan-Ganz floating catheter. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. The best cut-off value for the FVD/FAD ratio for predicting CVP and mPAP was obtained according to the ...
Whereas this measurement initially required direct left ventricular puncture,1 transeptal catheterization,2 or retrograde placement of a catheter into the left ventricle, the advent of the Swan-Ganz catheter allowed for accurate estimation of left-sided filling pressures without requiring arterial or int...
A Swan-Ganz flow-directed triple-lumen catheter was inserted through either subclavian or internal jug- ular vein, with continuous pressure and electrocardio- graphic monitoring. Selected measurements of right atrial, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures and cardiac output were ...
