Hemodynamic Monitoring Boot Camp: Invasive & Non-Invasive Strategies

$179.00

About this Online Course
This course sets the foundation and provides a review of the care of patients with hemodynamic instability & the need for monitoring. A focus is made on cardiac physiology as well as hemodynamic concepts via invasive & non-invasive monitoring. A review of the Pulmonary Artery Catheter (PAC), arterial lines, SvO2 monitoring & non-invasive monitoring will be made with application through case studies.

This introductory Hemodynamic Monitoring course is perfect for nurses working in Critical Care, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, the Emergency Department, Progressive Care & Telemetry. Baseline knowledge of cardiac care is helpful prior to attending this course.

What Nurses Are Saying About This Course!
"Start low and go up SLOW"

Nicole has a way of simplifying and explaining hemodynamic concepts that makes learning fun and easy. The case reviews at the end of the course are my favorite part. The case reviews help me visualize the patient and apply concepts I learned. - B.D.

Excellent course for all providers 
I am a new PA you didn't get much orientation to my new position into Cardiac surgery. This course really taught me how to see my patient and take care of them. Nicole is an awesome instructor and the videos are not hard to sit through at all. She is very engaging and presents the information well. I really appreciated how she backed up all of her information with studies and provided the most up to date information available. - T.W.
