Stress Testing measures workload of the heart and how it
tolerates "stress"
indications:
angina
heart failure
MI
dysrhythmias
MAY use drugs (adenosine, dobutamine)
FAST 2-4 hrs before
ECG nursing test
Hemodynamic Monitoring the use of pressure monitoring devices to directly
measure cardiovascular function
indications:
serious/critical illness
heart failure
post coronary artery bypass graft patients
ARDS
acute kidney injury
burn injury
trauma injury
lay SUPINE or TRENDELENBURG
place at phlebostatic axis (4th intercostal space,
midaxillary line)
Hemodynamic Monitoring Findings central venous pressure = 1-8
pulmonary artery systolic = 15-25
pulmonary artery diastolic = 5-15
pulmonary artery wedge pressure = 4-12
mixed venous oxygen saturation = 60-80%

Hemodynamic Monitoring infection/sepsis -
Complications surgical asepsis when changing dressing (mask,
sterile globes, maintain sterile fiedl)
embolism
0.9% sodium chloride for flushing (NO heparin)
Angiography a radiographic study of the blood vessels after the
injection of a contrast medium
indications:
unstable angina
ECG changes
NPO for at least 8 hrs
watch for iodine/shellfish ALLERGY
assess RENAL function
AFTER: maintain bed rest, keep extremity
STRAIGHT
Angiography Teaching no strenous exercise
report bleeding
restrict lifting (<10 lb)
anticoagulation therapy (those who have stent
placement)
Angiography Complications cardiac tamponade
hematoma formation
restenosis of treated vessel
retroperitoneal bleeding
