Atlas of Cardiovascular Monitoring.

Abstract

Monitoring philosophy, displays, and recorders -- Central venous pressure, left atrial pressure -- Pulmonary artery pressure -- Pulmonary artery wedge pressure -- Pulmonary artery and wedge pressure artifacts -- Predicting left ventricular end-diastolic pressure -- Arterial blood presssure : direct vs. indirect measurement -- Direct arterial blood pressure monitoring : normal waveforms -- Technical requirements for direct blood pressure measurement -- Basic electrocardiography -- Myocardial ischemia : ECG detection -- Myocardial ischemia : hemodynamic detection -- Monitoring heart rate -- Arrhythmias : an integrated ECG and hemodynamic approach -- Pressure-volume relations, transmural pressure, and preload -- Respiratory-circulatory interactions -- Patterns of valvular heart disease -- Pericardial constriction and cardiac tamponade -- Hemodynamic observations during cardiopulmonary bypass -- Intraaortic ballon counterpulsation.
