What are the benefits of pulmonary artery catheterization in coronary artery bypass grafting?
Pulmonary artery catheterization can provide important information about patient's hemodynamic status before, during, and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It can detect any changes in the patient's cardiac output, pressure, and oxygen levels, and assist with fluid management. It can also help to guide the administration of medications and other treatments to maximize patient outcomes. Additionally, it can help to detect any abnormalities or complications that occur during or after CABG, such as myocardial ischemia or infarction. Thus, pulmonary artery catheterization can help to improve patient safety and outcomes following CABG.
