Thermodilution pulmonary artery catheters
Swan-Ganz™ Thermodilution Catheters monitor intracardiac pressures and cardiac output, along with providing infusing solutions.
When used with a compatible monitor, Swan-Ganz™ Thermodilution Catheters enable you to:
- Assess hemodynamic condition through direct intracardiac and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring and cardiac output determination.
- Sample mixed venous blood through the distal (pulmonary artery) port for the assessment of oxygen transport balance and the calculation of derived parameters such as oxygen consumption, oxygen utilization coefficient, and intrapulmonary shunt fraction.
- Infuse using an extra lumen with proximal port (30 cm) on Swan-Ganz™ VIP Catheters, in addition to the standard distal and injectate lumens, to provide direct access to the right atrium.
