  1. PA catheter help/question

    You should have enough time to switch your lines without worries of an air embolism. Of course, do one line at a time. Most of the time you should have blood return from your lines. The key here is that once you change your pa cath pressure tubing is...
  2. Transvascular Aortic Valve Implantation

    I completely agree with you. They are trialing a new core-valve called the Evolut that has been re-sized and gives you the option to re-position the valve giving a better anchored during deployment of the valve. This decreases the chances of depressi...

    I am a male RN. I highly doubt that my open chest, IABP and centrally cannulated ECMO female patient or her family have an issue with me touching such patient. I guess my definition of nursing and genders play a different role in my specialty. My adv...
  11. Typically a map above 60 is adequate perfusion. However, when dealing with hemodynamically compromise patients a map of 80 , just to say a number may not reflect an adequate body perfusion. A map can be affected by many variants.
  12. PAWP

    The usage of a WEDGE is dependable in the patient's situation and knowledge of the provider or nurse. It should not be use for every patient.
