What is Overview of Swan-Ganz Catheter Use about?

The Swan-Ganz catheter was invented in 1970 by Drs. Swan and Ganz to directly measure pressures and temperatures in the heart and lungs. It is a balloon-tipped catheter that is threaded through a large vein into the pulmonary artery. Measurements from the catheter can provide information on heart function, blood flow, oxygen levels and more. Placement of the catheter requires careful procedure and monitoring to avoid potential complications. Nurses must closely manage care of the catheter when in use.
