Abstract
The Swan-Ganz catheter was developed 35 to 40 years ago for intensive and cardiac care units to allow bedside placement and continuous monitoring and recording of right-sided heart, pulmonary artery, and wedge pressures and reasonably accurate determinations of cardiac output. Considerations for the clinical application of this balloon-tip, flow-directed, multilumen, thermodilution pulmonary artery catheter in the post-ESCAPE era are presented.
