THE SWAN-GANZ CATHETER

The clarity of a comprehensive hemodynamic profile* delivered by a single catheter to guide your treatment strategy.

The first flow-directed Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) revolutionized hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients.1 Edwards’ Swan-Ganz advanced technology pulmonary artery catheters offer a comprehensive hemodynamic profile delivered by a single catheter to help clinicians assess cardiovascular function and guide treatment decisions.*

Target complex patient conditions

Advanced hemodynamic parameters provided include continuous cardiac output (CCO) and mixed venous oximetry (SvO2), in addition to right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and right ventricular end diastolic volume (RVEDV), to allow continuous monitoring of the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption. Since SvO2 is considered one of the earliest indicators of a threat to tissue oxygenation2,3, continuous SvO2 monitoring may alert clinicians to a change in the patient’s condition sooner than conventional monitoring methods.
