Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Pulmonary-artery versus central venous catheter to guide treatment of acute lung injury.
The balance between the benefits and the risks of pulmonary-artery catheters (PACs) has not been established. ⋯ PAC-guided therapy did not improve survival or organ function but was associated with more complications than CVC-guided therapy. These results, when considered with those of previous studies, suggest that the PAC should not be routinely used for the management of acute lung injury. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00281268.).
