Description
A common reason for transfer to intensive care is that a patients’ status has become unstable. In this session, view Cyndi Zarbano as you learn the how’s and why’s of keeping our patients hemodynamically stable. When training CCU/ICU nurses, Cyndi often shares “if you can learn to understand how and why we manipulate the cardiac output mathematical equation, you will improve your critical thinking skills – and patient care outcomes!” Cyndi has been a national seminar speaker for 15 years earning a reputation for being engaging using humor, stories, and nursing experiences to help attendee’s “get it”! Her career has included flight nursing, prior military background leaving service as a Lieutenant Commander, and nearly 30 years in various intensive care roles.

Objectives
- Determine cardiac output manipulations for hemodynamic stability.
- Analyze the three components of stroke volume and determine how we can manipulate it.
- Differentiate the six vasopressors and how we select which is the right one for each patient situation.
- Choose pharmacological agents to optimally stabilize patients in crisis.
Outline
- Cardiac Output (CO) = Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV)
- Normal and abnormal values for multiple cardiac findings
- Breaking down the equation to manipulate each component
- Heart Rate – too fast or too slow
- Stroke Volume
- Preload – “dry or over-tanked up”
- Afterload – manipulating the pressure the heart pushes against to move blood forward
- Contractility – too much or too little squeeze
- How the initiation of drugs and fluid options can manipulate the equation
- Swan Ganz catheters, FloTrak or Vigileo monitors can drive interventions
- The role of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps or Impella’s
- Understand the rationale behind medication selection
Target Audience
- Nurses
- Nurse Practitioners
- Clinical Nurse Specialists
