Interpret cardiac output trials. Identify normal ranges for haemodynamic values measured from a pulmonary artery catheter. Reflect on the nursing management of a pulmonary artery catheter.
2 sty 2017 · Left ventricular preload can also be clinically assessed via the pulmonary artery (PA) catheter by obtaining the pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), also known as the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP), more commonly referred to as the “wedge” pressure.
3 lis 2020 · PAOP or PAWP is pressure within the pulmonary arterial system when catheter tip ‘wedged’ in the tapering branch of one of the pulmonary arteries. in most patients this estimates LVEDP thus is an indicator of LVEDV (preload of the left ventricle) normally 6-12mmHg (1-5mmHg less than the pulmonary artery diastolic pressure)
5 sie 2015 · To accurately interpret a CVP or PAWP, a paper tracing of the PAWP or CVP with a simultaneous ECG is required. This allows careful analysis of the tracing to identify the “a”, “c” and “v” waves, and to find the most suitable point for pressure measurement.
10 lut 2021 · The PAWP waveform usually depicts two pressure peaks: the a-wave and the v-wave, as well as two descents called x and y. The v-wave is generally the most prominent peak.

In the first part of this review, we will discuss catheter placement, waveform characteristics, and pitfalls. In the second part we will describe technical fea-tures, clinical applications, limitations, and complications of this contemporary PAC.
