168-409: A spinnaker was able to make reasonable headway. The concept of using thermodilution to measure cardiac output was originally the idea of Arnost Fronek . As a former colleague of Fronek, Ganz added the thermistor modification after Swan showed him the initial balloon design, which was fabricated by Edwards Laboratories, which had previously contracted with Swan as a consultant.

280-449: A direct coronary vasodilator and also potentiates the actions of adenosine on the coronary vasculature. Pulmonary artery catheter A pulmonary artery catheter ( PAC ), also known as a Swan-Ganz catheter or right heart catheter , is a balloon-tipped catheter that is inserted into a pulmonary artery in a procedure known as pulmonary artery catheterization or right heart catheterization . Pulmonary artery catheterization

336-525: A multi-center randomized controlled trial found no difference in mortality or length of stay in ICU patients who received pulmonary artery catheters, though it did find a 10% incidence of complications related to the procedure. Contrary to earlier studies there is growing evidence the use of a PA catheter (PAC) does not necessarily lead to improved outcome. One explanation could be that nurses and physicians are insufficiently knowledgeable to adequately interpret

392-402: A number of mechanisms for regulating coronary vascular tone, including metabolic demands (i.e. hypoxia), neurologic control, and endothelial factors (i.e. EDRF , endothelin ). Local metabolic control (based on metabolic demand) is the most important mechanism of control of coronary flow. Decreased tissue oxygen content and increased tissue CO 2 content act as vasodilators. Acidosis acts as

448-428: A result, it is frequently disregarded. As an example: if systolic blood pressure = 120 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure = 80 mmHg, right atrial mean pressure = 3 mmHg and cardiac output = 5 L/min, Then mean arterial pressure = 2 x diastolic pressure + systolic pressure/3 = 93.3 mmHg, and SVR = (93 - 3) / 5 = 18 Wood units, or equivalently 1440 dyn·s/cm . It is difficult to measure or monitor SVR in most locations outside

504-434: A vessel. The viscosity variations, according to Thurston, are also balanced by the sheath flow size around the plug flow. The secondary regulators of vascular resistance, after vessel radius, is the sheath flow size and its viscosity. Thurston, as well, shows that the resistance R is constant, where, for a defined vessel radius, the value η(δ)/δ is constant in the sheath flow. Vascular resistance depends on blood flow which

560-419: A viscosity η(δ) and thickness δ from the wall layer. The blood resistance law appears as R adapted to blood flow profile : where Blood resistance varies depending on blood viscosity and its plugged flow (or sheath flow since they are complementary across the vessel section) size as well, and on the size of the vessels. Blood viscosity increases as blood is more hemoconcentrated, and decreases as blood

616-439: Is a plasma release-cell layering at the walls surrounding a plugged flow. It is a fluid layer in which at a distance δ, viscosity η is a function of δ written as η(δ), and these surrounding layers do not meet at the vessel centre in real blood flow. Instead, there is the plugged flow which is hyperviscous because holding high concentration of RBCs. Thurston assembled this layer to the flow resistance to describe blood flow by means of

672-467: Is a useful measure of the overall function of the heart particularly in those with complications from heart failure , heart attack , arrhythmias or pulmonary embolism . It is also a good measure for those needing intravenous fluid therapy, for instance post heart surgery, shock, and severe burns. The procedure can also be used to measure pressures in the heart chambers. The pulmonary artery catheter allows direct, simultaneous measurement of pressures in

728-436: Is administered it can cause a coronary steal phenomenon, where the vessels in healthy tissue dilate more than diseased vessels. When this happens blood is shunted from potentially ischemic tissue that can now become ischemic tissue. This is the principle behind adenosine stress testing . Adenosine is quickly broken down by adenosine deaminase , which is present in red cells and the vessel wall. The coronary steal and

784-401: Is an expedient but limited and invasive model of right heart performance. It remains an exceptional method of monitoring volume overload leading to pulmonary edema in an ICU setting. A feature of the pulmonary artery catheter that has been largely ignored in the clinical setting is its ability to monitor total body oxygen extraction by measuring the mixed venous oxygen saturation. Regardless of

840-457: Is calculated as a sum of the alveolar and extra-alveolar resistances as these vessels lie in series with each other. Because the alveolar and extra-alveolar resistances are increased at high and low lung volumes respectively, the total PVR takes the shape of a U curve. The point at which PVR is the lowest is near the FRC. The regulation of tone in the coronary arteries is a complex subject. There are

896-464: Is challenging in most situations. The standard method is by the use of a Pulmonary artery catheter . This is common in ICU settings but impractical is most other settings. Units for measuring vascular resistance are dyn ·s·cm , pascal seconds per cubic metre (Pa·s/m ) or, for ease of deriving it by pressure (measured in mmHg ) and cardiac output (measured in L/min), it can be given in mmHg·min/L. This

952-707: Is consistent with physiological and metabolic observations. High oxygen extraction is associated with low cardiac output and decreased mixed venous oxygen saturation. Except during hypothermia and in severe sepsis, low mixed venous oxygen saturations are indication of inadequate hemodynamics. The ability of the pulmonary artery catheter to sample mixed venous blood is of great utility to manage low cardiac output states. Non-invasive echocardiography and pulse-wave cardiac output monitoring are concordant with (and much safer) if not better than invasive methods defining right and left heart performance. The emergence of MRSA and similar hospital based catheter infections now clearly limits

1008-524: Is divided into 2 adjacent parts : a plug flow, highly concentrated in RBCs, and a sheath flow, more fluid plasma release-cell layering. Both coexist and have different viscosities, sizes and velocity profiles in the vascular system. Combining Thurston's work with the Hagen-Poiseuille equation shows that blood flow exerts a force on vessel walls which is inversely proportional to the radius and

1064-435: Is introduced through a large vein—often the internal jugular , subclavian , or femoral veins. Ease of placement for a pulmonary artery catheter from easiest to difficult is: right internal jugular > left subclavian > left internal jugular > right subclavian. From this entry site, it is threaded through the right atrium of the heart , the right ventricle , and subsequently into the pulmonary artery. The passage of

1120-405: Is measured in units of litres per minute (L/min). Mean arterial pressure is the cycle average of blood pressure and is commonly approximated as 2 x diastolic blood pressure + systolic blood pressure/3 [or diastolic blood pressure + 1/3(systolic blood pressure - diastolic blood pressure)]. Mean right atrial pressure or central venous pressure , is usually very low (normally around 4mmHg), and as

1176-430: Is more dilute. The greater the viscosity of blood, the larger the resistance will be. In the body, blood viscosity increases as red blood cell concentration increases, thus more hemodilute blood will flow more readily, while more hemoconcentrated blood will flow more slowly. Counteracting this effect, decreased viscosity in a liquid results in the potential for increased turbulence. Turbulence can be viewed from outside of

1232-720: Is numerically equivalent to hybrid resistance units (HRU), also known as Wood units (in honor of Paul Wood , an early pioneer in the field), frequently used by pediatric cardiologists. The conversion between these units is: 1 mmHg ⋅ min  L  ( HRUs ) = 8 MPa ⋅ s m 3 = 80 dyn ⋅ sec cm 5 {\displaystyle 1\,{\frac {{\text{mmHg}}\cdot {\text{min}}}{\text{ L }}}({\text{HRUs}})=8\,{\frac {{\text{MPa}}\cdot {\text{s}}}{{\text{m}}^{3}}}=80\,{\frac {{\text{dyn}}\cdot {\text{sec}}}{{\text{cm}}^{5}}}} In

1288-473: The Hagen–Poiseuille equation : where Vessel length is generally not subject to change in the body. In Hagen–Poiseuille equation , the flow layers start from the wall and, by viscosity, reach each other in the central line of the vessel following a parabolic velocity profile. In a second approach, more realistic and coming from experimental observations on blood flows, according to Thurston, there

1344-478: The Poiseuille equation , the wall shear stress . This wall shear stress is proportional to the pressure drop. The pressure drop is applied on the section surface of the vessel, and the wall shear stress is applied on the sides of the vessel. So the total force on the wall is proportional to the pressure drop and the second power of the radius. Thus the force exerted on the wall vessels is inversely proportional to

1400-450: The atrium via the fourth lumen, usually dedicated to medication. Common drugs used are various inotropes , norepinephrine or even atropine . A further set of calculations can be made by measuring the arterial blood and central venous (from the third lumen) and inputting these figures into a spreadsheet or the cardiac output computer, if so equipped, and plotting an oxygen delivery profile. One further development in recent years has been

1456-466: The lithium dilution technique ; the external bio-resistance monitor , pulse contour analysis or the very simple and reliable technique of esophogeal doppler measurements of the descending aorta. The procedure is not without risk, and complications can be life-threatening. It can lead to arrhythmias , pseudoaneurysm formation or rupture of the pulmonary artery, thrombosis , infection , pneumothorax , bleeding , and other problems. The benefit of

1512-462: The stress test can be quickly terminated by stopping the adenosine infusion. A decrease in SVR (e.g., during exercising) will result in an increased flow to tissues and an increased venous flow back to the heart. An increased SVR, as occurs with some medications, will decrease flow to tissues and decrease venous flow back to the heart. Vasoconstriction and an increased SVR is particularly true of drugs

1568-420: The viscosity of blood (such as due to a change in hematocrit ) would also affect the measured vascular resistance. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) also depends on the lung volume, and PVR is lowest at the functional residual capacity (FRC). The highly compliant nature of the pulmonary circulation means that the degree of lung distention has a large effect on PVR. This results primarily due to effects on

1624-507: The ICU. An invasive catheter is necessary. SVR, BP and CO are related to each other but only BP is easily measured. In the typical situation at the bedside we have an equation with three variables, one known, that is the BP and two unknown, CO and SVR. For this reason the BP is frequently used as a practical but somewhat inadequate definition of shock or the state of blood flow. The PVR can be calculated similarly (in units of dyn·s·cm ) as: where

1680-477: The PA catheter is a monitoring tool and not a therapy in and of itself this is not entirely surprising. Justification for its continued use rests on a large body of clinical experience, disadvantages of other cardiac output monitoring systems, its ability to accurately measure pulmonary artery pressure, and the potential to use the catheter as a direct conduit for drug administration into the pulmonary artery. The catheter

1736-511: The PA catheter measurements. Also, the benefits might be reduced by the complications from the use of the PAC. Furthermore, using information from the PAC might result in a more aggressive therapy causing the detrimental effect. Or, it could give rise to more harmful therapies (i.e. achieving supra-normal values could be associated with increased mortality). This interpretation of Adolph Ficks ' formulation for cardiac output by time/temperature curves

1792-518: The alveolar and extra-alveolar vessels. During inspiration, increased lung volumes cause alveolar expansion and lengthwise stretching of the interstitial alveolar vessels. This increases their length and reduces their diameter, thus increasing alveolar vessel resistance. On the other hand, decreased lung volumes during expiration cause the extra-alveolar arteries and veins to become narrower due to decreased radial traction from adjacent tissues. This leads to an increase in extra-alveolar vessel resistance. PVR

1848-417: The atrium by the third lumen simultaneously) and pulmonary artery pressure are input, a comprehensive flow vs pressure map can be calculated. In crude terms, this measurement compares left and right cardiac activity and calculates preload and afterload flow and pressures which, theoretically, can be stabilized or adjusted with drugs to either constrict or dilate the vessels (to raise or lower, respectively,

1904-454: The breakdown of high-energy phosphate compounds (e.g., adenosine monophosphate , AMP). Most of the adenosine that is produced leaves the cell and acts as a direct vasodilator on the vascular wall. Because adenosine acts as a direct vasodilator, it is not dependent on an intact endothelium to cause vasodilation. Adenosine causes vasodilation in the small and medium-sized resistance arterioles (less than 100 μm in diameter). When adenosine

1960-416: The catheter can provide an indirect measurement of the pressure in the left atrium of the heart, showing a mean pressure, in addition to a, x, v, and y waves which have implications for status of the left atria and the mitral valve. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure ( LVedp ) is measured using a different procedure, with a catheter that has directly crossed the aortic valve and is well positioned in

2016-431: The catheter may be monitored by dynamic pressure readings from the catheter tip or with the aid of fluoroscopy . The standard pulmonary artery catheter has two lumens (Swan-Ganz) and is equipped with an inflatable balloon at the tip, which facilitates its placement into the pulmonary artery through the flow of blood. The balloon, when inflated, causes the catheter to "wedge" in a small pulmonary blood vessel. So wedged,

2072-412: The closed vascular system as increased resistance, thereby countering the ease of flow of more hemodilute blood. Turbulence, particularly in large vessels, may account for some pressure change across the vascular bed. The major regulator of vascular resistance in the body is regulation of vessel radius. In humans, there is very little pressure change as blood flows from the aorta to the large arteries, but

2128-426: The fourth power of vessel radius, changes to arteriole diameter can result in large increases or decreases in vascular resistance. If the resistance is inversely proportional to the fourth power of vessel radius, the resulting force exerted on the wall vessels, the parietal drag force, is inversely proportional to the second power of the radius. The force exerted by the blood flow on the vessel walls is, according to

2184-415: The hydraulic version of  Ohm's law , sometimes called Ohm’s law of fluid flow, vascular resistance is analogous to electrical resistance, the pressure difference is analogous to the electrical voltage difference, and volumetric flow is analogous to electric current flow: where The SVR can therefore be calculated in units of dyn·s·cm as where the pressures are measured in mmHg and the cardiac output

2240-452: The incorporation of a heating coil on the catheter (30 cm from the tip, residing in the atrium area) which eliminates the cold fluid bolus, a major factor in human technique variation. By attaching both the injector site and the ventricular thermistor to a small computer, the thermodilution curve can be plotted. If details about the patient's body mass index (size); core temp, Systolic, diastolic, central venous pressure CVP (measured from

2296-401: The initial balloon tip, Ganz used Fronek's idea and added a small thermistor (temperature probe) about 3 cm behind the tip. 10 ml of saline (0.9% NaCl) under 10 °C or room temperature (not as accurate) is injected into an opening in the right atrium . As this cooler fluid passes the tip thermistor, a very brief drop in the blood temperature is recorded. A recent variation in design is

2352-418: The input to the pulmonary blood circuit (where the heart's right ventricle connects to the pulmonary trunk) and the output of the circuit (which is the input to the left atrium of the heart). There are many factors that influence vascular resistance. Vascular compliance is determined by the muscle tone in the smooth muscle tissue of the tunica media and the elasticity of the elastic fibers there, but

2408-407: The invention of a catheter with a fiber-optic based probe which is extended and lodged into the ventricle wall providing instant readings of SvO2 or oxygen saturation of the ventricle tissues. This technique has a finite life as the sensor becomes coated with protein and it can irritate the ventricle via the contact area. Various other techniques have largely relegated the PA catheter to history, e.g.

2464-499: The left ventricle. LV edp reflects fluid status of the individual in addition to heart health. See also pulmonary wedge pressure and ventricular pressure . The idea for a sail or balloon tip modification of Ronald Bradley's simple portex tubing method came about from Swan's observation from the Laguna Beach CA shore of sail boats on the water on a relatively calm day. Boats with conventional slot sails were still; one with

2576-536: The muscle tone is subject to continual homeostatic changes by hormones and cell signaling molecules that induce vasodilation and vasoconstriction to keep blood pressure and blood flow within reference ranges . In a first approach, based on fluids dynamics (where the flowing material is continuous and made of continuous atomic or molecular bonds, the internal friction happen between continuous parallel layers of different velocities) factors that influence vascular resistance are represented in an adapted form of

2632-425: The pressure of blood flowing to the lungs), in order to maximize oxygen for delivery to the body tissues. The ability to record results is not a guarantee of patient survivability. Modern catheters have multiple lumina — five or six are common — and have openings along the length to allow administration of inotropes and other drugs directly into the atrium. Drugs to achieve these changes can be delivered into

2688-456: The right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and the filling pressure ( pulmonary wedge pressure ) of the left atrium. The pulmonary artery catheter is frequently referred to as a Swan-Ganz catheter, in honor of its inventors Jeremy Swan and William Ganz , from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center . General indications are: No study has definitively demonstrated improved outcome in critically ill patients managed with PA catheters. Given that

2744-436: The second power of the radius. The blood flow resistance in a vessel is mainly regulated by the vessel radius and viscosity when blood viscosity too varies with the vessel radius. According to very recent results showing the sheath flow surrounding the plug flow in a vessel, the sheath flow size is not neglectible in the real blood flow velocity profile in a vessel. The velocity profile is directly linked to flow resistance in

2800-399: The sheath flow thickness. It is proportional to the mass flow rate and blood viscosity. where Many of the platelet -derived substances, including serotonin , are vasodilatory when the endothelium is intact and are vasoconstrictive when the endothelium is damaged. Cholinergic stimulation causes release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) (later it was discovered that EDRF

2856-421: The small arteries and arterioles are the site of about 70% of the pressure drop, and are the main regulators of SVR. When environmental changes occur (e.g. exercise, immersion in water), neuronal and hormonal signals, including binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine to the α1 receptor on vascular smooth muscles, cause either vasoconstriction or vasodilation . Because resistance is inversely proportional to

2912-582: The stimulate alpha(1) adrenergic receptors. The major determinant of vascular resistance is small arteriolar (known as resistance arterioles ) tone. These vessels are from 450 μm down to 100 μm in diameter (as a comparison, the diameter of a capillary is about 5 to 10 μm). Another determinant of vascular resistance is the pre-capillary arterioles . These arterioles are less than 100 μm in diameter. They are sometimes known as autoregulatory vessels since they can dynamically change in diameter to increase or reduce blood flow. Any change in

2968-408: The units of measurement are the same as for SVR. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (also called pulmonary artery occlusion pressure or PAOP) is a measurement in which one of the pulmonary arteries is occluded, and the pressure downstream from the occlusion is measured in order to approximate the left atrial pressure. Therefore, the numerator of the above equation is the pressure difference between

3024-449: The use of this type of catheter has been controversial. Therefore, many clinicians minimize its use . Several studies in the 1980s seemed to show a benefit of the increase in physiological information. Many reports showing benefit of the PA catheter are from anaesthetic, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) settings. In these settings cardiovascular performance was optimized thinking patients would have supra-normal metabolic requirements. In 2005,

3080-399: The value obtained by measurements of the cardiac output, the mixed venous oxygen saturation is an accurate parameter of total body blood flow and therefore cardiac output. The assumption that a low mixed venous oxygen saturation (normal = 60% except for the coronary sinus where it approximates 40% reflecting the high metabolic rate of the myocardium) represents less than adequate oxygen delivery

Adenosine most likely does not play a role in maintaining the vascular resistance in the resting state. However, it causes vasodilation and decreased vascular resistance during hypoxia. Adenosine is formed in the myocardial cells during hypoxia, ischemia, or vigorous work, due to
