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 />
