Overview
Pulmonary artery catheterization is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of pulmonary edema. Elevated pulmonary-artery pressure indicates cardiogenic pulmonary edema or pulmonary edema due to volume overload.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Pulmonary-Artery Catheterization
Pulmonary artery catheterization is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of pulmonary edema.[1][2]
- Insertion of a pulmonary arterial catheter (a.k.a. a Swan-Ganz catheter) to distinguish between the two main forms of pulmonary edema and to help guide management
- In patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema the pulmonary artery pressure will be elevated
- Among patients with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema the wedge pressure will not be elevated
