,Indications for Hemodynamic Monitoring
Usually surround three nursing diagnoses:

1) Decreased cardiac output

2) Deficient fluid volume/excess fluid volume

3) Ineffective tissue perfusion

-Overall, depends on patient need clinically

-One of the obvious indications for hemodynamic
monitoring is decreased cardiac output.

Decreased cardiac output could be from:
-Dehydration

-Hemorrhage

-G. I. bleed

-Burns

-Surgery

-All types of shock (Septic, cardiogenic, neurogenic,
or anaphylactic) may require invasive
hemodynamic monitoring

, -Any deficit or loss of cardiac function (Acute MI,
cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure) may
require invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
Cardiac Output
-Defined as volume of blood ejected from
heart over 1 minute

-Determinants of C.O are: Heart rate and Stroke
volume

-C.O. = HR x SV

-Normal CO is 4-8 L/minute
