Abstract
Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) may beestimated from systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) alone. How-ever, this has never been demonstrated in critically ill mechanicallyventilated surgical patients. We determined the correlation of mPAPobtained by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) with mPAP derivedfrom sPAP and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in critically illand/or injured adult surgical patients requiring mechanical ventilation.The trends of mPAP among survivors and non-survivors were alsocompared.
