Summary<br />
• Using the data from a PAC compared to that<br />
from a CVC in an explicit protocol:<br />
– Did not alter survival.<br />
– Did not improve organ function.<br />
– Did not change outcomes for patients entering in<br />
shock compared to those without shock.<br />
• PAC use resulted in more non-fatal<br />
complications, mostly arrhythmias.<br />
