[Hemodynamics and massive pulmonary embolism].
In massive pulmonary embolism, the hemodynamic evaluation means a Swan-Ganz catheter and echocardiography, may be indicated as a hemodynamic assessment in correlation to the degree of obstruction and as a therapeutic guideline. Some figures demonstrate the importance of some hemodynamic parameters in order to choice the adequate therapy. Inconvenience and precautions of the method are shortly mentioned.
