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.
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.

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:
- Discuss the purpose of early warning systems (EWS)
- Describe common reasons for clinical decompensation
- Discuss the benefits of EWS
- Identify barriers to implementation of EWS

The Right Balance: Optimizing Fluid Management
Fluid therapy is provided to restore and maintain tissue perfusion, and is part of routine management for most hospitalized patients. However either too much or too little fluid can have serious consequences. Safe intravenous fluid management requires the relevant clinical skills and critical assessment of fluid balance carefully tailored for each patient.
Assessing whether fluid may help or harm your patient is a critical step in optimizing treatment. Through a comprehensive review of clinical evidence and case studies, this webinar series will help clinicians improve their critical decision-making to find the right balance.
