Pulmonary Artery Catheter Basics (SWANS)

exp date isn't null, but text field is

Abstract

As Physiology Nerds we love Pulmonary Artery Catheters, but there are lots of tricky details. How can we tell what chamber it is in? How do we accurately measure PAOP? I made this #OnePager to demystify the Swan and show the expected pressures and waveforms encountered sequentially during placement/wedging.
