ABSTRACT
Background: pulmonary artery or Swans-Ganz catheter is a technical method of diagnosis and it is developed in laboratories of physiology and hemodynamics. This catheter has been improved by providing it an unquestionable resource for the control and monitoring of high-risk-surgery patients conducted by the anesthesiologist in the perioperative period.Objective: to evaluate the repercussion of the invasive hemodynamic monitoring with Swan-Ganz catheter; to show the benefits and repercussions of its hemodynamic use in the diagnosis and treatment of unstable seriously ill patients in the first 72 hours of evolution.
Method: a prospective, descriptive study was conducted in the Intensive Care room of the Manuel Ascunce Domenech Teaching Hospital from January, 1992 to January 2014. A universe of 500 patients aged 15-70 years old was studied; 298 of them were diagnosed with hemodynamic instability of a cardiogenic origin and 202 with hemodynamic instability of a non-cardiogenic origin.
Results: its use motivated changes in the diagnosis, or the addition of another diagnosis, in 317 patients 63, 4 %. Regarding the treatment, changes or modifications were made in a total of 450 patients, which represented a 90 %.
Conclusions: the rational and well-discussed use of the Swan-Ganz catheter was very useful for the handling of very ill patients with hemodynamic instability difficult to handle. This allowed a better interpretation of confusing physiopathological conditions, as well as applying opportune therapeutic methods and of difficult decision.
