Document Content and Description Below

1. Arterial Pressure-Based Cardiac Output (APCO)  Monitoring is a minimally invasive technique to determine continuous CO (CCO)/ continuous CI (CCI). 2. Circulatory Assist Devices (CADs)  It ... is used to decrease cardiac work and improve organ perfusion in patients with heart failure when conventional drug therapy is no longer adequate. 3. Hemodynamic Monitoring  It is the measurement of pressure, flow, and oxygenation within the cardiovascular system. 4. Intraaortic Balloon Pump (IABP)  It provides temporary circulatory assistance to the sick heart by reducing afterload (via reduction in systolic pressure) and augmenting the aortic diastolic pressure. 5. Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs)  It provides short- and long-term support for the failing heart and allows more mobility than the IABP. 6. Central Venous Pressure (CVP)  It is a measurement of right ventricular preload and reflects fluid volume status. 7. Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP)  It is a measurement of pulmonary capillary pressure, reflects left ventricular enddiastolic pressure under normal conditions (ex. When there is no mitral valve dysfunction, intracardiac defect, or dysrhythmia). 8. Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR)  It is the resistance of the pulmonary vascular bed. [Show More]
