[Use of a multifunctional catheter for assessing cardiovascular function].
A new method of cardiovascular investigation with a multifunctional catheter was used in 56 cardiac and pulmonary patients. The multifunctional catheter enabled simultaneous measurement of the intravascular pressure and liner flow rate in large vessels (both arteries and veins). Prospects are outlined for the multifunctional catheter to be used for continuous hemodynamic monitoring, and developing, on this basis, of a computer monitoring system to assess cardiac performance during surgery.
