    Pulmonary Artery Catheters: Hemodynamics And Case Management With Nicole Kupchik

    In this exclusive Live Podcast Event, we dive into pulmonary artery catheters (PACs), a critical tool in the management of critically ill patients. Often regarded as a cornerstone in the monitoring of hemodynamics, PACs provide invaluable insights into the heart’s function and the pulmonary circulation’s state.

I want to thank Jenny and everyone at CSPA. I used this podcast to supplement my preparation for my CRNA interviews last year. I was accepted to my top school, and currently entering the second half of my first year as a SRNA. I remain an active listener of CSPA, and have recommended the podcast to friends and family looking to follow their dreams of becoming a CRNA. Thank you for the great content!
