Which condition is NOT a reason to place a Swan-Ganz catheter?

A Swan-Ganz catheter, commonly used in critical care, is designed to provide hemodynamic monitoring and assess various aspects of cardiovascular function, particularly for conditions that greatly impact the heart and lungs. The primary indications for placing a Swan-Ganz catheter include the need for accurate measurement of pulmonary artery pressures, cardiac output, and the evaluation of volume status in patients with complex cardiac and pulmonary issues.

In this context, pulmonary hypertension, transplants, and right heart failure are all conditions that can have significant implications for a patient's hemodynamic profile. Pulmonary hypertension requires careful monitoring to guide treatment decisions. After organ transplants, especially of the heart or lungs, there may be a need for close hemodynamic monitoring during the perioperative period and beyond. Right heart failure directly affects cardiac output and fluid management, making it essential to utilize a Swan-Ganz catheter for accurate monitoring and intervention.

Diabetes mellitus, however, does not necessitate the placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter as a standard practice. While diabetes can lead to various complications affecting cardiovascular health, including coronary artery disease and autonomic dysfunction, it does not inherently involve the specific hemodynamic assessments typically provided by a Swan-Ganz catheter. Therefore, among the options provided, diabetes mellitus is
