Usefulness of a fiber optic Swan-Ganz catheter to monitor oxygen transport during volume expansion in a patient with ischemic neurologic deficits from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The usefulness of a fiber optic Swan-Ganz catheter to monitor oxygen transport during volume expansion in a patient with ischemic neurologic deficits due to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is illustrated. Usefulness of oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption measurements are presented. The role of oxygen transport in addition to cardiac hemodynamics and volume status in the management of these neurologic symptoms is emphasized.
