Abstract
A pressure transducer elevation gauge for determining the precise elevation of a physiologic pressure transducer in a heart catheter laboratory for determining hemodynamics, specifically relating to the heart. The pressure transducer elevation gauge is positioned adjacent to a reclined patient and an indicator is vertically adjusted on an upright rod or stand to the precise level, or mid-axiallary line of the patient's heart. The gauge indicator is then moved toward the foot of the bed, where it is used to precisely locate the physiologic pressure transducer at the mid-axiallary line.
