| Popis: | To compare the haemodynamic measurements of cardiac output (CO), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Pw) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), obtained by Swan-Ganz catheter and transthoracic echocardiography.Prospective study in a Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A total of 41 post liver transplant patients were enrolled. CO, CVP, Pw and PASP, were simultaneously determined by two independent observers, utilizing a Swan-Ganz catheter and transthoracic echocardiography, using equations described in the literature. A linear correlation and a Bland-Altman analysis were performed.A good correlation between invasive and non- invasive measurements for CO (r=0.97) and CVP (r=0.88) was found, but determinations of Pw (r=0.41) and PASP (r=0.18) did not correlate well. Bias and 95% confidence interval for CO were negligible namely when a CO |
