PAEDP may better detect overload than CVP in heart disease; leaves open whether routine use improves surgical outcomes.
Does pulmonary artery pressure monitoring provide a more sensitive index of circulatory overload compared to central venous pressure in surgical patients?
PAEDP monitoring is superior to CVP monitoring for detecting circulatory overload in surgical patients with heart disease undergoing procedures with large volume shifts.
