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 oxygenation^2,3, continuous SvO₂ monitoring may alert clinicians to a change in the patient’s condition sooner than conventional monitoring methods.
