Performance, Benefits and Advantages
The SCMS procedure is estimated to cost approximately one-third of the of Swan-Ganz procedure.
SCMS provides measures of:
- Mean left atrial pressure
- Left ventricular
- Cardiac output by pulse contour
- Arterial pulse wave velocity
- Left atrial transmural pressure
- Pleural pressure
- Systolic time intervals (pre-ejection period and left ventricular ejection time)
Other Features and Benefits
- Allows for phonocardiogram and audible heart sounds that are unaffected by typical surrounding noise or that may also be visually displayed directly on the monitor
- Integrated ECG and blood pressure measurement
- Disposable catheter that does not use metal components and does not interfere with magnetic resonance imaging
- Instantaneous analysis and display of cardiac performance
- Rapid insertion and positioning by non-physician personnel
- Minimally invasive esophageal route reduces infection and other systemic adverse events
