Intro to Pulmonary Artery Catheters (PA or Swan Ganz Catheters)

Making PA catheters easy. Are they new to you? Do you need a refresher?

Time Codes below:
00:00 Intro
03:41 Waveforms & position of the catheter
04:09 ALL arteries lead back to AO
04:49 ALL veins lead back to RA
05:30 Blood flow of heart and body
06:16 PA to estimate LVEDP
07:34 PAD = PCWP = LVEDP
08:13 Insertion
10:12 RA & PCWP same characteristics
10:32 RV & LV same characteristics
10:52 PA & AO same characteristics
11:06 Dicrotic Notch
11:25 Animation of insertion
16:16 Components of TD swan
17:13 PCWP = LVEDP
17:46 PAWP = PAOP = PCWP
18:28 SV02 / VIP Swan
19:13 CO through proximal blue port
19:43 Continuous CO
20:46 SV02 meaning
21:52 Mixed venous
23:07 markings on catheter
23:30 Cath insertion distance markings (You NEED this at bedside insertion)
25:37 Pressures again
26:00 RA = RVEDP. RVS = PAS. PAC = PCWP
27:30 TD CO animation
28:30 atrial waveforms, a wave, v wave and mean
29:05 ventricular waveforms
29:42 arterial waveforms

The best PA cath tutorial, super thanks

[angrypoodle]

This was fantastic. You should make a full series on this. Thank you!
