Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters offer continuous parameters on three major integrated elements – flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery and consumption – for a comprehensive hemodynamic profile when used with a compatible cardiac output monitor.
Continuous view of cardiac function in your most complex patients
The first flow-directed Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter revolutionized hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients.1 By providing a comprehensive hemodynamic profile, utilizing continuous data, Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters track your patient’s hemodynamic status to assist your early evaluation.
Edwards Lifesciences Swan-Ganz advanced technology pulmonary artery catheters enable continuous assessment of flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery and consumption, so you have an uninterrupted view of cardiac function for proactive decisions support in your most complex patients.
Target complex patient conditions with advanced hemodynamic parameters
The Swan-Ganz catheter allows continuous monitoring of the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption with these advanced hemodynamic parameters:
- Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)
- Cardiac output (CO)
- Stroke volume (SV)
- Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
- Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF)
- Right ventricular end diastolic volume (RVEDV)
- Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)
- Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)*
SvO2 mixed venous oxygen saturation
Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters provide continuous monitoring of SvO2. Since SvO2 is a sensitive indicator of the patient’s status and generally precedes other indications of cardiopulmonary instability, continuous SvO2 monitoring may allow diagnostic and therapeutic decisions to be made earlier in the patient's clinical course.

Edwards’ Swan-Ganz advanced technology pulmonary artery catheters offer a comprehensive hemodynamic profile delivered by a single catheter to help clinicians assess cardiovascular function and guide treatment decisions.
Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheters give you a comprehensive hemodynamic profile—delivered by a single catheter*—to guide treatment strategy. For a continuous view of cardiac function that can enable earlier intervention, choose the catheter with the parameters that best suit your clinical approach and your patient’s needs.
The Swan-Ganz Advanced Technology catheters offer Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO) which continuously monitors cardiac output.
- CCO thermodilution catheters allow for continuous calculation and display of cardiac output
- The HemoSphere advanced monitor uses thermal energy to calculate cardiac output using thermodilution principles
- Alternatively, cardiac output can be measured using the traditional bolus thermodilution method
