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
