Acute renal failure after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: an improved clinical prognosis.

abstract：:Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) will only reflect left atrial pressure (LAP) if continuity of fluid exists from the catheter tip to the left atrium. Either increased airway pressure or decreased hydrostatic pressure may lead to discontinuity of the fluid column and midinterpretation of PAWP. Simultaneous measur...
