Efficacy and safety of pulmonary artery catheterization with combined transesophageal echocardiography and pressure waveform: A prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study investigated whether pulmonary artery catheter placement method with combined transesophageal echocardiography and pressure waveform measurement improve the placement success rate within 5 min and reduce the incidence of arrhythmia during pulmonary artery catheter placement compared to conventional pulmonary artery catheter placement with pressure waveform measurement only.

Methods

This single center prospective observational study included 129 patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. Patients were divided into two groups. In the conventional group, the pulmonary artery catheter was placed by monitoring the pressure waveform and the length of placement; in the combination group, not only were the pressure waveform and the length monitored but also the fol
