Hemodynamic waveform analysis

Article Abstract:

The analysis of hemodynamic waveforms, or rhythmic blood pressure changes in the heart, through arterial catheterization provides significant diagnostic information about heart ventricle mechanics during cardiac cycle phases. Critical care nurses must be able to measure and interpret hemodynamic waveforms to accurately assess the circulatory dynamics of a patient.

Hemodynamic benefits of treatment modalities for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case study

Article Abstract:

This article presents a case study of an elderly Caucasian woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a cardiac muscle disease that can seriously affect blood circulation. Current treatments such as drug therapy, dual-chamber pacing, and surgery help to manage symptoms, decrease heart rate, and improve hemodynamic stability within the heart.

Improving the accuracy of pulmonary artery catheter measurements

Article Abstract:

This article provides an overview of techniques used to increase the accuracy of hemodynamic measurements obtained from pulmonary artery catheters. Leveling, dynamic response testing, and zeroing are important steps in maintaining the accuracy of arterial pressure measurements and preventing medical errors.
