Advancing Bedside Nursing Care Through Noninvasive Hemodynamic Technology

Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

With decreased use of pulmonary artery catheters, the art of hemodynamic monitoring may be a thing of the past. Many nurses have no experience with hemodynamic technologies or the confidence to apply hemodynamic concepts in decision-making. This intermediate-to-advanced session is targeted to nurses who care for unstable patients needing hemodynamic monitoring and intervention with a focus on noninvasive and arterial line technologies.

Objectives

Discuss hemodynamic calculations to aid in clinical decision-making, including shock index, diastolic shock index and pulse pressure.
Identify methods to predict preload responsiveness using the passive leg raise test or a fluid challenge with noninvasive technology.
Employ critical thinking of hemodynamic concepts through interactive polling using case-based scenarios.
