CCOmbo catheter is the abbreviated name for Swan-Ganz Continuous Cardiac Output, Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation monitoring (CCO/SvO2) catheters, which are flow-directed thermodilution pulmonary artery catheters.
- Designed to continuously monitor both cardiac output and mixed venous oxygen saturation when used with the Vigilance monitors.
- Swan-Ganz CCO/SvO2/VIP thermodilution catheters enable monitoring of hemodynamic pressures and provide an additional (VIP catheter) lumen that allows for continuous infusion.
- To measure cardiac output continuously, the Vigilance monitor uses thermal energy emitted by the thermal filament located on the catheter to calculate cardiac output using thermodilution principles.
- Alternatively, cardiac output can be measured using the traditional bolus thermodilution method.
- Available with or without AMC Thromboshield treatment, an antimicrobial heparin coating designed to reduce infection.
