[The importance of monitoring with the Swan-Ganz catheter in cardiac surgery--personal experience].
In our paper we will present the advantages of the modern hemodynamic monitoring system in open heart surgery, especially in high risk patients. The Swan-Ganz monitoring system, with great possibilities for measuring and calculating a large number of parameters, is necessary for the postoperative treatment, for regular diagnosis and therapy of heart insufficiency, as well as the low cardiac output syndrome. There is no correlation between pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure, and central venous pressure isn't significant for heart insufficiency estimation, more exactly left heart insufficiency estimation. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is significant in the prevention and therapy of the low cardiac output syndrome.
