Initiate Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP)
Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP) is a pressure measurement derived
from a PA catheter when the PA distal balloon is inflated and the catheter
advances and occludes a distal pulmonary artery. PAWP pressure is a reflection
of the pressure in the left ventricle at end-diastole.
To initiate a PAWP measurement on the DPM 6 or DPM 7 bedside monitor:
a. Select PAWP menu by selecting PA invasive blood pressure tile or from
Parameters menu (
or Main Menu quick keys)
Or
a. Select PAWP
(quick key)
b. Select Setup to adjust PA sweep speed, PA scale, or reference waveforms
(as needed)
c. Inflate balloon and watch PA waveform for wedge waveform
d. Select Freeze to freeze the waveform once a satisfactory wedge
waveform is detected
