Two cases of catheterization of the pulmonary artery, in which the hemodynamic findings were very different from the initial clinical diagnosis, are presented. The importance of verifying the adequate position and motion of the pulomonary artery catheters with two consecutive chest x-rays is discussed. In particular, attention is brought to the possible misinterpretation that occurs in patients with very elevated pulmonary artery mean pressure.
本文介绍了两例肺动脉插管病例，其血流动力学检查结果与最初的临床诊断有很大差异。讨论了通过连续两张胸部X光片来验证肺动脉导管位置是否合适及是否移动的重要性。特别要注意的是，肺动脉平均压极高的患者可能会出现误诊。
