Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Oxygen Saturation: Does It Confirm Wedge Position in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension?
Pulmonary artery wedge pressure is a crucial measurement for differentiating between hemodynamic categories of pulmonary hypertension (PH), particularly Groups 1 and 2. In this prospective study, we analyzed the diagnostic utility of checking wedge oxygen saturation to confirm wedge position during right heart catheterization in patients referred for PH.
