Estimation of Pulmonary Capillary Pressure Using Swan-Ganz Catheters

  • 65 Accesses

Abstract

Recently, we have determined that the effective capillary pressure in lungs can be measured by either following the transient of the pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) or venous pressure (Pv) following occlusion of inflow or outflow catheters, respectively [5, 7, 8, 10–12]. This has been confirmed in several other laboratories [2–4].
