Title: 'Non-Invasive Assessment of Cardiac Output and Fluid Balance: Nursing Is On The Case'

Session Description: Administration of intravenous fluids and pharmacologic support to maintain a patient’s blood pressure are common tasks performed by all critical care nurses. But how do we know which is the best choice and when enough is enough?

This interactive session provides an overview of the theory and practical applications of non-invasive assessment of Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output in the dynamic assessment and management of a patient’s fluid status. Participants will have an opportunity to virtually assess, implement and evaluate the results of fluid and vasopressor administration through case scenarios.

Learning Outcomes:
• Identify and describe characteristics of patients who could best benefit from non-invasive hemodynamic assessment and management
• Describe two hemodynamic functional assessments for providing guided fluid resuscitation

Target Audience: RN, ARNP, CNS, CNE, nurse manager
Patient population: Adult
Level: Proficient
