[Consensus on the operation of pulmonary artery catheterization].

Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi

September 2022

Right heart catheterization(RHC) is a technique of inserting a catheter into the right heart and pulmonary artery via a peripheral vein, to evaluate hemodynamics and oxygen dynamics. When Swan-Ganz catheter is used, it is called pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC). PAC plays an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and hemodynamic assessment of critically ill patients.

Background: Introduced in 1970, the Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) soon became widely used because of its unique usefulness in managing intensive care patients. Unfortunately, SGC usage was complicated by pulmonary artery rupture (PAR) with a 50% mortality rate that led to a near banning of the SCG in the late 1980s. Increasing knowledge and decreasing incidence of SGC-related PARs (SGPARs) led to the current feeling that the present SGPAR incidence is now low enough to tolerate given the lives saved by SGC usage.

[Swan Ganz catheter. Experts opinion].

Medicina (B Aires)

July 2015

Consejo de emergencias cardiovasculares Dr. Rafael Bullrich, Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología. E-mail:

Investigators have raised doubts as to the safety of the Swan Ganz catheter (SGC). In order to define the point of view of cardiologists in our country, the Argentine Society of Cardiology's Emergency Council organized a meeting to analyze their views in different settings (non-cardiac surgery, cardiac surgery, acute coronary syndromes and heart failure) using the RAND-UCLA appropriateness method. A detailed review with the scientific evidence was sent to the experts in cardiology prior to the meeting in the SAC auditorium where the panellists selected the clinical variables create the specific situations.

Shoshin beriberi induced by long-term administration of diuretics: a case report.

Case Rep Cardiol

August 2014

Department of Cardiology, Toyota Memorial Hospital, 1-1 Heiwa-cho, Toyota 471-8513, Japan.

Previous studies have suggested that diuretic therapy for heart failure may lead to thiamine deficiency due to the increased urinary thiamine excretion. Herein, we present the case of a 61-year-old man with shoshin beriberi, a fulminant form of wet beriberi, induced by long-term diuretic therapy. The patient had a history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and was receiving furosemide and trichlormethiazide therapy.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of training anesthesiologists with hemodynamic models of miniature pigs.

Methods: Eight miniature experimental pigs were chosen; ECG, SpO2, PetCO2, ABP, CVP, SV, SVV and PAP were monitored after anesthesia. The research was divided into two parts.
