The patient was being operated on for a gastric bypass. She developed congestive heart failure. The doctor says he "swan-ed" her and "A-lined" her. I'm not familiar with either of these terms. How do type these terms?

Subject: All I can think of/document would be "flow rate" heart failure.....sm
if you think about it, when a patient is severely hypotensive, obviously the flow rate of the blood and return to the heart would be very slow, because of low pressure, and subsequently caused by low pressure; if you listen and it sounds like this, it physiologically would make sense, although I have not come across the exact phrase yet, they always throw new ones at ya!! Hope this is of some help!

Beta Blockers
Beta blockers have also been studied for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension.9 The three agents most widely studied are propranolol, piûdolol, and xamoterol. Propranolol’s mechanism of action is believed to be antagonism of beta-controlled vasodilator effects of catecholamines. Pindolol is a nonselective beta blocker with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Patients with orthostatic hypotension may have reduced sympathomimetic activity, and the agonist properties of pindolol account for its usefulness in these patients. Xamoterol, a partial beta1-selective agonist, has been shown to be useful in patients unable to tolerate pindolol. Because xamaterol is an investigational agent, its usefulness is limited. Nevertheless, a New Drug Application has been filed with the FDA.
