Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters offer continuous parameters on three major integrated elements – flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery and consumption – for a comprehensive hemodynamic profile when used with a compatible cardiac output monitor.
The Swan-Ganz catheter
Continuous view of cardiac function in your most complex patients.
The first flow-directed Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter revolutionized hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients.1 By providing a comprehensive hemodynamic profile, utilizing continuous data, Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters track your patient’s hemodynamic status to assist your early evaluation.
Edwards’ Swan-Ganz advanced technology pulmonary artery catheters enable continuous assessment of flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery and consumption, so you have an uninterrupted view of cardiac function for proactive decisions support in your most complex patients.
