  • Title: The Swan-Ganz catheter: its clinical versatility.
    Author: Moza SK, Del Guercio LR.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (Off Ed); 1983 Oct; 18(10):239, 242, 247. PubMed ID: 6413372.
    Abstract:
    The Swan-Ganz catheter has helped physicians monitor critically ill patients, assess elderly surgical patients for surgical risk preoperatively, and manage them intraoperatively and postoperatively. Its use in open heart surgery has helped make this operation, once an unusually hazardous undertaking, a routine procedure in major medical centers.
