Abstract

the end of 2019, a new species of coronavirus spread rapidly in Hubei, China, where several patients presented pneumonia of unknown origin. This infectious outbreak caused an epidemic in China that grew rapidly evolving into a pandemic. Consequently, in February 2020, the World Health Organization named Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. During the evolution of COVID-19 to a severe disease, hemodynamic deterioration sometimes occurs with the development of a sepsis-induced shock state. Therefore, hemodynamic monitoring is highly important during the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients with multisystem dysfunction. Until now, hemodynamic monitoring in patients with severe COVID-19 has not been described in the literature using the gold standard, which is the Swan-Ganz (SG) catheter. For this reason, we consider this description of the utmost importance.
