Hemodynamic monitoring resource

Published

Specializes in Neurosurgical ICU.

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.

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 :mad: but at least it's all free.

Hopefully this will help us give strong interviews when we're asked clinical questions about hemodynamic monitoring! :yeah:
