The Swan-Ganz catheter: its clinical versatility

Hospital Practice
S K Moza, L R Del Guercio

Abstract

The Swan-Ganz catheter has helped physicians monitor critically ill patients, assess elderly surgical patients for surgical risk preoperatively, and manage them intraoperatively and postoperatively. Its use in open heart surgery has helped make this operation, once an unusually hazardous undertaking, a routine procedure in major medical centers.
