Ms. Shepard and DIC
This morning rapid response is called for Ms. Shepard who was admitted with a urinary tract infection and sepsis. Her blood pressure dropped during the evening hours and she is now hypotensive and is having difficulty breathing. Her IV sites are oozing and there is blood in the urinary catheter. Her physician suspects disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The primary mechanism in the development of DIC is:

Urban CPR Patterns
In a recent study of inner-city neighborhoods, the authors found that out of hospital cardiac arrest was 2-3 times higher in some neighborhoods compared to others. In these high incidence neighborhoods what was the rate of bystander CPR?

 

Advanced Hemodynamics: Principles of Monitoring

Is your patient at risk for cardiovascular collapse?
Is the current treatment effective?

A good understanding of what you’re seeing on the monitor will help you to manage his hemodynamics and detect complications early on.

Hemodynamic monitoring is an important part of the comprehensive assessment of critically-ill patients. Due to concerns about the safety of pulmonary artery catheters, nurses have to rely on non-invasive methods of assessing their patients. In Advanced Hemodynamics: Principles of Monitoring, you will review how to interpret PA catheter waveforms and learn how to integrate arterial line and pulse oximetry data to validate clinical findings.

Advanced Hemodynamics: Principles of Monitoring will help you:
• Confidently interpret hemodynamic waveforms
• Correlate changes in waveforms with clinical assessment
• Recognize clinical signs of hemodynamic compromise

By understanding all of the components involved in hemodynamics nurses can implement a balanced approach to treatment. Complications will be reduced, while patient outcomes may be improved. This approach helps nurses be more efficient and effective at the same time.

Advanced Hemodynamics: Principles of Monitoring teaches invasive and non-invasive methods of evaluating your patient's cardiovascular and hemodynamic status. This course is taught by David W. Woodruff, MSN, RN, CNS, CCRN, a nationally-known nursing expert and teacher.

Advanced Hemodynamics: Principles of Monitoring includes:

  • Waveform analysis
  • Assessment without invasive monitoring
  • 60-minute audio CD
  • Comprehensive handbook
  • This is the best hemodynamics presentation I've ever heard!” -SS, RN
