So for those of us who are applying to CRNA school and do not have a lot of experience with Swans, the Edwards Lifesciences website is a great resource for learning a few hemodynamic basics. I'll include a link, but if it doesn't work just go to their website and look up the critical care education.http://www.edwards.com/education/Pages/cceducationmap.aspx
There's even a great video showing a PAC being inserted and a monitor next to it so you can see the different waveforms in the different chambers of the heart!
Pacep is another good resource, but I find the powerpoint presentations to be so boring
but at least it's all free.
Hopefully this will help us give strong interviews when we're asked clinical questions about hemodynamic monitoring!
I did some of the quizzes on pacep.org. cool website. A lot of the stuff I didn't know bc I just started in the ICU yesterday lol.

http://www.icufaqs.org is a great resource for new ICU nurses too!
