Figure 4-10. Pulmonary Artery Single Lumen Catheter Pullback
Note
The medSim 300B single lumen catheter pullback waveform for pulmonary
artery pressure simulates a measurement obtained with this procedure.
The following represents the simulated blood pressure waveforms for single and dual
lumen catheterization in the pulmonary artery:
Catheterization Blood Pressure Waveforms
Single Lumen Catheter
Inserted
BP4 = RV Variable
Pulled back BP4 = PA 25/10
Dual Lumen Catheter
Distal lumen (tip) BP3 = PA 25/10
Proximal lumen BP4 = RV Variable
To simulate a single lumen catheter with the lumen in the pulmonary artery:
1. Press <F3>-PULM from the CATHETERIZATION MENU, and then press
<F1>-PLBK.
