Overview

May support perioperative pulmonary artery catheterization use; Level 5 data leave open need for confirmatory trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
6,245 patients requiring cardiac and noncardiac operations, ages 4 to 94 years.
I
Intervention
Pulmonary artery (PA) catheterization for perioperative monitoring (inserted through external/internal jugular vein or arm veins).
O
Outcome
Incidence of complications and morbidity associated with PA catheterization (including PVCs, bundle branch blocks, intrapulmonary hemorrhage, pulmonary infarcts, right ventricle perforation, and death).safety

Pulmonary artery catheterization for perioperative monitoring is associated with a very low incidence of major morbidity and mortality.
