Hemodynamic monitoring is a mainstay in the care of critically ill patients. It involves using invasive and
non-invasive methods to provide information about pump effectiveness, vascular capacity, blood
volume and tissue perfusion. The precise data obtained from hemodynamic monitoring helps to identify
the type and severity of shock (cardiogenic, hypovolemic, distributive, or obstructive). When paired with
clinical evaluation, hemodynamic monitoring is helpful in guiding the administration of fluids, in
selecting and titrating vasoactive drugs, and in deciding when mechanical support might be necessary to
treat refractory shock. It allows for evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment in real time.
Danielle Urness BSN RN CCRN-CSC gives a clear introduction to hemodynamics.
