The use of the balloon-tipped, flow-guided catheter to measure the fulling pressure of the left side of the heart was first described in 1970 by Swan

Introduction Pulmonary Artery Catheters (PAC) also know as Swan-Ganz catheters are an advanced hemodynamic tool to evaluate a wide range of conditions.Though they used to be common place in many ICU's, evidence suggesting lack of benefit in indiscriminate use has resulted in them falling out of favour.There is still a role in management of complex

It’s always encouraging to see established researchers from outside the chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia fields converging on them. David Systrom, a pulmonologist at Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston, has been interested in idiopathic or unexplained exercise intolerance for at least a decade. He and Oldham recently published their magnus […]

Nowadays, the classical pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has an almost 50-year-old history of its clinical use for hemodynamic monitoring. In recent years, the PAC evolved from a device that enabled intermittent cardiac output measurements in combination with static pressures to a monitoring tool that provides continuous data on cardiac output, oxygen supply and-demand balance, as well as right ventricular (RV) performance. In this review, which consists of two parts, we will introduce the…
