What is recorded here?
Reported bedside right-heart catheterization using a flow-directed balloon-tipped double-lumen catheter to obtain right-sided and pulmonary-capillary-wedge pressures without fluoroscopy.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact six-author 1970 New England Journal of Medicine report. Its first 100 catheterizations do not establish benefit across all critically ill patients, and later thermodilution, monitoring protocols, complications and outcome trials remain separate.
