About this trial

The pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz) is a standard tool in intensive care for measuring and monitoring the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP). The Swan-Ganz IQ™ model also allows automatic measurement to reduce the risk of error (Smart Wedge). However, the concordance between this automatic method and the manual method remains poorly studied in real clinical conditions and may vary depending on certain clinical situations. This study therefore aims to compare the PAOP automatically measured (Smart Wedge) with the manual PAOP measurement at bedside based on data collected in clinical practice.
