Info

PA Catheter • A Pulmonary Artery (PA) Catheter provides an assessment of the patient’s circulatory status. It provides specific measurements on pulmonary artery and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output, and cardiac indexing.
Indications For Pressure Monitoring • Right atrial pressure monitoring (CVP or RAP) • Pulmonary artery pressure monitoring (PAP) • Cardiac Output procedure/Thermodilution method (CO) (Hemodynamic Profile) • Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO)/ Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation (SvO2 ) monitoring
