| Abstract: | We describe a patient undergoing elective surgery for treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in whom an abrupt change in the contour of the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) trace indicated the development of an intermediate (20 mm Hg) V wave in the pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) trace. As the PAP trace is displayed continuously, attention to its contour may allow for early detection of changes to the underlying PAWP trace.FC Anaesth |
