Nurses should monitor several key parameters to assess hemodynamic stability, including:
Blood Pressure: Both systolic and diastolic pressures provide insight into cardiac function and vascular resistance. Heart Rate: An abnormal heart rate can indicate stress, pain, or other underlying issues. Central Venous Pressure (CVP): Reflects the blood volume and venous return to the heart. Cardiac Output: The volume of blood the heart pumps per minute, crucial for assessing overall cardiovascular health. Oxygen Saturation: Ensures tissues are receiving adequate oxygen.
