Angela Craig: Hemodynamic Monitoring Critical Care Nursing

Hemodynamic monitoring in a critical care setting is very important to the individualized care of the patient.  Using heartrate and blood pressure is not enough to determine patients preload, afterload and contractility needs.  Utilizing hemodynamics of some sort (non-invasive, less – invasive) can really better outcomes in the critical care patient.  It is essential though if you are utilizing hemodynamic monitoring at the bedside that you understand what the numbers mean and how you can better implement care at the bedside.
