Swan-Ganz
Pressures
- RA: 5 mmHg (blue probe)
- RV: 25 mmHg
- PA: 25/5-10 mmHg (temperature probe)
- LA: 10 mmHg
- Wedge pressure: 10 mmHg
- Can also use intraseptal, but rarely done
- Pulmonary HTN: MAP > 25 mmHg
Cardiac Output
- Thermodilution
- does not require room air, more accurate when on oxygen support
- less accurate with regurgitation
- Fick method: assumes FiO2
- Normal cardiac output: 4-6 L/min
- Normal cardiac index: 2-3 L/min/m^2
