Bedside SWAN Max

Bedside SWAN Max turns what you can get at the bedside — a phased array probe, the monitor, and a blood gas — into the dataset a pulmonary artery catheter would give you, and then reads it as a whole. From the probe and the monitor: stroke volume, cardiac output and index, systemic vascular resistance, right atrial pressure, LV filling pressure, right ventricular function, pulmonary artery pressures, pulmonary vascular resistance, PAPI, cardiac power output, VExUS venous congestion grading, and pericardial effusion and tamponade. Enter a measured cardiac output or catheter pressures when you have them and the tool uses those instead. From the gases: oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption and extraction, venous saturation, lactate, and CO2 transport. The integrated profile crosses the ultrasound with the gases and the pressures, names the shock phenotype, and says where the modalities agree…
