Session Summary
Effective hemodynamic monitoring is essential for timely recognition and management of cardiovascular instability in critically ill pediatric patients. This session provides APRNs with a comprehensive overview of hemodynamic assessment tools, including invasive and noninvasive techniques and their application in the pediatric intensive care setting. This advanced-level presentation provides the attendees with case-based discussions to exercise the application of hemodynamic data in guiding clinical decision-making and to optimize patient outcomes.
