Abstract

The addition of fiberoptic technology to the flow directed pulmonary artery catheter is perhaps the biggest advance in hemodynamic monitoring since the introduction of the catheter in the early 1970s. Continuous mixed venous oximetry enables the clinician to have on-line information regarding the adequacy of cardiac output. This information can be used to improve the timing of interventions aimed at improving oxygen transport in critically ill patients.
