Adult Basics of Hemodynamic Monitoring

Organization: Nursing CEU

Description

4.1 Contact Hours

This module includes a comprehensive guide to understanding the basics of hemodynamic monitoring. This module offers the fundamental principles and indications for invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and the relevance of "Zeroing" the lines to the Phlebostatic Axis prior to waveform readings. The indications and contraindications and possible complications involved with the insertion of Central Venous Lines, Arterial Lines, Pulmonary Artery (Swan Ganz) Catheters and ICP Monitoring along with the expected CVP, RV, PAP, PCWP, CO and CI readings, waveforms and troubleshooting tips are also discussed. Basic Hemodynamic Monitoring is also a great orientation tool for nurses wishing to pursue a career in the field of critical care or emergency nursing.
