Go for it! The majority of stepdown nurses are all badasses and need to give themselves more credit, and I’m sure that if you’re watching content like this, then you will be a great asset for ICU

I just passed my CCRN exam and I wanted to say THANK YOU 🎉 You are absolutely amazing and have helped me so much! If I get into CRNA school it will be because of you!

I just want to say THANK YOU so much for making this channel. I am currently doing the ECCO program and I have felt so confused and lost. Since finding your channel, I am finally starting to understand whatever ECCO is terribly trying to tell me. You have a really great way of condensing big concepts into easy to understand, digestible information. YOU ARE THE BEST!

Is that because of high intrathoracic pressure leading to decrease venous return to the heart ?

Is central line monitoring the same set-up as an A line? Same tubing, pressure bag at 300, leveled at phlebstatic access?

@ICUAdvantage

4 жыл бұрын

Yup!

So the intrathoracic pressure during normal inhalation is negative while if it is with the vent(with positive pressure), the intrathoracic pressure is positive? im confused, pls enlighten me. thank you.

Hey, thanks for the videos!! Please clarify; I thought inspiration increases venous return to the heart@15:08

So you would need individual pressure cables for your CVP, PCWP, PA pressure, and BP? So if a patient has all 4, you would 4 pressure bags theoretically?

@ICUAdvantage

2 жыл бұрын

Good question. PA and PCWP come from the same port. So 3 pressure cables, yes. You could do 3 individual pressure bags, but there is the swan transducer kit which takes one pressure bag and Y's out to 3 separate pressure lines to each of the ports (CVP, PA, Art) but yes, you'd need 3 cables for each one going to the monitor.

Thanks a million. My book state different values. Are these the latest measurements?

Everywhere you look will have slightly different numbers. They are generally within just a few and thus in reality can be used interchangeably

I don't understand the high is dry. We were taught in CVICU high means fluid overload/retention or cardiac dysfunction. Low CVP means they don't have enough fluid. Is the stroke volume variance inverse to CVP?

@ICUAdvantage

Жыл бұрын

Correct. SVV is the opposite of CVP. The more variance, the higher the value, means potentially fluid responsive. Less variance, lower number, means potentially adequate intravascular volume.

Hi im not sure if you mentioned it in another video, but when can you say someone is hemodynamically unstable? what are the numbers

@ICUAdvantage

3 жыл бұрын

So there are many factors that can play in to this such as the patients HR, their cardiac output, the SVR impacting blood pressure, but at the end of the day the end goal is about perfusion and thus if we have a MAP less than 60/65 that would be the biggest indicator. Then its a matter of figuring out why the BP is low and finding the cause and hopefully fixing it. Hope that makes sense.

It won't be truly accurate, but you can use the value to trend which can be helpful. Flat for your true reading.

CVP should ONLY be taken off the distal (brown) port of a central line!!!! Closet to the R atria.
