Pulmonary-Artery Catheterization
Pulmonary ertery catheterization is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of pulmonary edema.[1]
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.
- Ued to assess the pulmonary-artery occlusion pressure, is considered the gold standard for determining the cause of acute pulmonary edema.[1]
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.
