Popis: Pulmonary artery catheterization with a flow-directed balloon catheter has practical application in the management of critically ill surgical patients. Reliable information regarding left ventricular function, pulmonary venocapillary hydrostatic pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and peripheral oxygen utilization can be derived. The underlying physiologic principles of pulmonary artery monitoring are emphasized.
