PA Catheters: Hemodynamics & Case Management

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.

Unpack the principles behind how PACs measure key physiological parameters such as pulmonary artery pressure, cardiac output, and mixed venous oxygen saturation. These metrics are vital for diagnosing and managing conditions like heart failure, shock, and pulmonary hypertension.

ICU Cardiac Medications

Breaking down the five cardiac medications we commonly see-norepinephrine, epinephrine, Olaparib, milrinone, and dobutamine and learning how to titrate them!

Just imagine it is 2 AM and you need to learn about a drug, but you don’t have a lot of resources. What can you grab quickly? This episode’s guest has the perfect book for you. Nicole Kupchik, MN, RN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC, PCCN has written Critical Care Survival Guide, a concise bedside reference book for anyone working in critical care regardless of experience level. In today’s episode “ICU Cardiac Medications With Nicole Kupchik”, Nicole joins Jenny Finnell to give us access to some of the wisdom from her book, particularly on ICU cardiac medications. 

So You Want to Go Back to School?

This episode sheds light on the critical role of Clinical Nurse Specialists, the extensive education and experience needed to enter the field, and their unique responsibilities compared to other nursing positions. Nicole openly shares the impact she’s been able to make as a CNS, the challenges she’s faced — and even mistakes she’s made along the way. We also discuss the worrying decline in CNS programs, and what nurses can do to secure a CNS position in today’s healthcare environment.

Initiatives in Safe Patient Care

Early Warning Scoring (EWS) systems provide a commonly understood way to recognize the degree of deterioration in a patient’s status, and can ensure that every patient is seen at the right time by the right person. The EWS is based on the collection of a combination of vital signs including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and body temperature. In this webinar, there will a discussion of the benefits, variations and strategies for overcoming barriers to successful implementation of EWS in hospitals.

Upon completion of this webinar, the participant will be able to:

  1. Discuss the purpose of early warning systems (EWS)
  2. Describe common reasons for clinical decompensation
  3. Discuss the benefits of EWS
  4. Identify barriers to implementation of EWS
