- Pressure Monitoring Systems
- This section presents the component parts of a pressure monitoring system, a graphicexample of a complete arterial pressure monitoring system and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring system, and examples for troubleshooting the system.
- The Multi-Lumen Catheter
- The Multi-Lumen Catheter section includes indications for PA catheterization, risks/complications of PA catheterization, vascular access - insertion sites for PA catheterization, component parts of the multi-lumen PA catheter, and catheter insertion and flotation through the heart. Also included in this section are the pulmonary zones of perfusion.
- Through graphics and computerized animation, the user is shown catheter insertion through the heart and the characteristic waveforms produced.
- Arterial Blood Pressure Waveforms
- This section presents the indications for arterial cannulation, vascular access - insertion sites for arterial cannulation, risks/complications of arterial cannulation, interpreting the arterial waveform, electrocardiogram correlation with arterial waves, and abnormal arterial waveforms.
- The arterial waveforms are set in motion just as in a real-life situation!
- Central Venous Waveforms, Right Ventricular Waveforms, Pulmonary Artery Waveforms, and Pulmonary Artery Wedge Waveforms
- These sections include the following:
- An explanation of the component parts of the waveform and how they are formed from the pressure changes occurring within the heart.
- Electrocardiogram correlation with the waveform.
- How to correctly read and interpret the pressure values.
- Practice waveforms.
- Significance of abnormal findings.
- The waveforms are set in motion just as in a real-life situation!
- Respiratory Influence on Waveforms
- The Respiratory Influence on Waveforms section explains how to accurately read pressure values during spontaneous inspiration and during mechanical ventilation. Practice waveforms are included.
- The waveforms are set in motion just as in a real-life situation!
- Comprehensive Review Quiz
- The Comprehensive Review Quiz contains a test bank of 100 test questions and waveforms obtained from all sections of Hemodynamic Monitoring - Part I. The test questions are generated in a randomized fashion and feedback is given for correct choices as well as incorrect choices. The user has the option of printing a score report after completing the quiz.
