Description
The latest title in the Real World Nursing Survival Guide series, this fun and engaging book makes it easy to review must-know concepts
associated with hemodynamic monitoring. Its lighthearted, cartoon-filled approach guides readers through challenging concepts and procedures.
The book begins with an overview of five main concepts: cardiac output, stroke volume, preload, afterload, and contractility. It discusses
equipment used for specific procedures, followed by discussions of specific aspects of hemodynamic monitoring including cardiac output,
intra-arterial, central venous, pulmonary artery, and mixed venous oxygenation. The final chapter focuses on clinical applications with
case studies, clinical interventions, and exercises.
