Abstract
Pulmonary arterial monitoring with Swan-Ganz catheters must be considered one of the most important advances in the care of the critically ill patient. A more critical attitude should be adopted in evaluating data derived from the catheter because of the inherent limitations in pulmonary arterial monitoring and unresolved details of cardiovascular dysfunction. Faute de mieux, its use should be encouraged in appropriate patient groups.
