Glad it was helpful! You may also find other videos in my critical care playlist helpful: ru-vid.com/group/PLGq925lbJaow1Px84-2qv7qBuXgFcjFlo Thanks for watching and good luck in your studies! :)
Thank you so much for this video. I now fully understand what my teacher sped through the lecture was speaking off. You took your time and now its very, very clear to me and my anxiety has been reduced substantially 😁
Hi Professor, One of your old students here. I'm about to do swan training for work. I found your video and was like "HEY I KNOW HER!" Great content, and a great review for me going into the training. :)
Hi Sabrina, how nice to hear from you! Glad you found the video helpful. I'm sure you'll do great in your new role! Best of luck and say Hi to anyone else from your cohort! 😀
Thank you for that feedback. Since the recording of this video I have improved my audio recording equipment and am happy to report that my latest videos have improved audio quality.
Love your videos! I have a quick question - when doing these hemodynamic monitoring with CVP & PA pressure are they always being done at the same time? Like providers are looking at both the pressures? I was just confused by the picture at the bottom where the CVP is stopped in the atrium and the needle still goes to pulm artery for the PAWP ( I hope this makes sense) thank you!!!!
Hi and thanks for watching! These 2 measurements can be taken together or separately. Some patients may not require both CVP and PAWP. Sometimes a patient only requires CVP measures but usually the ones who need PAWP are more critical and will also have CVP measured. Both can be accomplished with the same line. Hope this helps!
Thank you! I found this very helpful. I have one question, what is or is there a normal range for PAWP? I just began studying about ARDS and one of the sx is a PAWP of less than 18 mmHg. I am getting ready to watch your video on ARDS now!
Hi Sophie, great question. I realized that I did not include normal values for CVP and PAWP in the video, so here they are: Normal CVP: 1-6 mmHg Normal PAWP: 8-12 mmHg Hope this helps and good luck in your critical care courses!
Hello Ma'am! Thank you for your helpful teachings🤍 May I know your sources for this lecture and also for the arterial pressure monitoring? Also, another question, if patient is having COPD, is the normal PAWP applicable to them or they are only given an acceptable range? Thanks in advance for your reply🤍🙏
Hi Eka Eka, thank you for your feedback and question. Patients with underlying pulmonary conditions may have different acceptable levels of PAWP but this has to be determined on an individual basis depending on the extent of their disease. Hope this helps!
