Intro to Pulmonary Artery Catheters (PA or Swan Ganz Catheters)

Making PA catheters easy. Are they new to you? Do you need a refresher? Link: How to read PCWP, A, C & V waves:    • How to read PCWP, A & C & V waves   Time Codes below: 00:00 Intro 03:41 Waveforms & position of the catheter 04:09 ALL arteries lead back to AO 04:49 ALL veins lead back to RA 05:30 Blood flow of heart and body 06:16 PA to estimate LVEDP 07:34 PAD = PCWP = LVEDP 08:13 Insertion 10:12 RA & PCWP same characteristics 10:32 RV & LV same characteristics 10:52 PA & AO same characteristics 11:06 Dicrotic Notch 11:25 Animation of insertion 16:16 Components of TD swan 17:13 PCWP = LVEDP 17:46 PAWP = PAOP = PCWP 18:28 SV02 / VIP Swan 19:13 CO through proximal blue port 19:43 Continuous CO 20:46 SV02 meaning 21:52 Mixed venous 23:07 markings on catheter 23:30 Cath insertion distance markings (You NEED this at bedside insertion) 25:37 Pressures again 26:00 RA = RVEDP.
