art line waveform interpretation
The ECG trace is the electrical activity of the heart and the arterial waveform is a diagrammatic trace of flow of blood or mechanical response. Dicrotic notch is point x x. Arterial Line Eric Glenn Synergy Worldwide Bpro By Healthstats A Cardio Emergency Nursing Icu Nursing Critical Care Nursing The risk of infection is greater for the femoral line procedure because there is a higher density of microbes in the groin area Scheer et al 2002. . The arterial pressure wave reflects systole aortic valve closure and diastole and these should be identifiable see figure 1. Haemodynamic monitoring are the radial and femoral arteries Table 1. This phase begins with the opening of the aortic valve and corresponds to the left ventricular ejection. These include estimates of left ventricular stroke volume SV CO vascular resistance and during positive-pressure breathing SV variation and pulse pressure variation. The arterial pressure wa...
