Number of attempts and interventions to obtain a valid pulmonary artery wedge pressure
A valid PAWP was obtained during the first or second attempt in about 90% of patients that undergo RHC. Advanced interventions such as relocating the PAC to a different place of the same lung or contralateral pulmonary circulation are needed in about 10% of patients.
