Continuous monitoring of blood gases

More specific treatment to combat cardiotoxic effects is usually necessary in only a minority of instances in the series reported above (40), five patients (14%) had marked hypotension. Initial low left ventricular filling pressures were corrected within 3 hours by infusion of isotonic saline. Systemic hypotension persisted and was corrected by infusion of sympathomimetic amines. Routine insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter, with continuous monitoring of blood gases, pulmonary arterial pressure, left atrial wedge pressure, and cardiac output have been recommended (40). Volume expansion is suggested for low left atrial pressure,...
