Oxygen consumption calculated by the direct Fick method using a Swan-Ganz catheter (D-VO2) and indirect calorimetry using a metabolic computer (ID-VO2), carbon dioxide production calculated by the latter method, and respiratory quotient were determined pre- and postoperatively in 12 patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and eight patients with acute ruptured intracranial aneurysm. The mean D-VO2 value was slightly lower than the mean ID-VO2 value, but had a significantly positive correlation. The regression curve was very close to the line of identity. The total metabolic expenditure can be calculated from D-VO2 and daily urinary nitrogen excretion. Direct calorimetry using a Swan-Ganz catheter is a simple method to evaluate metabolic expenditure in acute hemorrhagic cardiovascular disease.

Validity and Accuracy of the Derived Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure in Impella 5.5.

Circ Heart Fail

January 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic, Transplantation and Vascular Surgery, Hannover Medical School, Germany. (R.P., J.S.H., D.B., A.S.M., M.H., A.Z., G.D., J.D.S., A.F.P., A.W., A.R., B.S.).

Background: Consensus regarding on-support evaluation and weaning concepts from Impella 5.5 support is scarce. The derived left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (dLVEDP), estimated by device algorithms, is a rarely reported tool for monitoring the weaning process.

Background: Monitoring core temperature is important for patients under anesthesia. Esophageal and pulmonary artery blood temperatures can be used for measuring core temperature during general anesthesia. However, these methods pose challenges, especially when the placement of an esophageal thermometer and pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is either impractical or not the preferred approach.

When encountering severe hypoxemia that does not respond to oxygen supplementation, it is essential to consider underlying right-to-left shunting. Among various diagnostic approaches, the microbubble test via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a simple, noninvasive method for detecting pulmonary arteriovenous shunts, particularly in hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). Although microbubbles are usually administered peripherally, using a Swan-Ganz (SG) catheter to inject microbubbles directly into the pulmonary artery may provide even more definitive diagnostic information.

Background: Monitoring tissue oxygenation is critical in liver recipients. The pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) provides continuous monitoring of mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO) using fiberoptic reflectance spectrophotometry. Despite the need for in vivo calibration during liver transplantation, recalibration guidelines are absent, and we frequently observed a significant discrepancy between PAC and reference co-oximeter SvO values after graft reperfusion.
