In this pulse-pounding episode we explore the dynamic world of cardiac dysrhythmias and hemodynamic monitoring—two essential skills for nurses working in telemetry, step-down, or critical care settings. Understanding what the monitor is telling you can mean the difference between early intervention and rapid deterioration.

You’ll learn:

• The cardiac conduction system and how disruptions lead to dysrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, and heart blocks
• How to read and interpret EKG strips using the five-step method
• The purpose and components of hemodynamic monitoring, including arterial lines, central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary arter ...
