OBJECTIVE 1. Describe the three attributes of circulating blood and their relationships. 2. Identify types of clients in which hemodynamic monitoring would be indicated. 3. Describe the types of catheters used for hemodynamic monitoring. 4. Discuss the normal and abnormal values obtained through hemodynamic monitoring as they relate to specific client situations. 5. List the potential complications in use of hemodynamic monitoring devices. 6. Explain nursing responsibilities when caring for patient on hemodynamic monitoring. 7. Describe the procedure for setting up a hemodynamic circuit. 2 05/22/12

HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING ARTERIAL PRESSURE MONITORING: 1. Indications 2. Assessment data:   * MAP = (diastolic x 2)+(systolic) 3 * MAP – ICP = CPP  16 05/22/12

---

HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING ARTERIAL PRESSURE MONITORING: 3. Arterial Waveform  a. Aortic valve opens and blood is ejected from LV and is recorded as an increase in pressure b. Highest point represents systole c. Lowest point is diastolic pressure  17 05/22/12

---

HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING ARTERIAL PRESSURE MONITORING: 4. Nursing Responsibilities 5. Potential Complications: a. Thrombosis at catheter tip b. Infection c. Bleeding d. Loss of flow distal to extremity   18 05/22/12
