The Role of Swan-Ganz Catheter in Hemodynamic Resuscitation for Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

"A pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) will be inserted via the right internal jugular or subclavian vein using a sterile technique and ultrasound guidance. The catheter is advanced into the pulmonary artery with real-time pressure waveform monitoring to confirm accurate positioning.~Once inserted, the catheter provides continuous invasive hemodynamic monitoring, including measurements of: Right atrial pressure (RAP), Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), Cardiac output (CO) by thermodilution, Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO₂).~These parameters are recorded at predefined intervals and used to guide goal-directed hemodynamic resuscitation. Clinical interventions such as vasopressor/inotrope titration, fluid resuscitation, or ventilatory support will be adjusted accordingly. All procedures will follow institutional protocols and safety standards. Complications (e.g., arrhythmias, infection) will be monitored and managed per protocol."
