Balancing QP/QS 04 | CICU Bedside Foundations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the final episode of the CICU Bedside Foundations series, we’re putting it all together with Balancing Qp/Qs . When caring for patients with single-ventricle physiology, understanding pulmonary and systemic blood flow is about more than memorizing numbers. This episode introduces a practical bedside framework built around five key components: • Unobstructed systemic output • Controlled pulmonary blood flow • Unobstructed pulmonary venous return • Ventricular function • AV valve regurgitation
Shunt Physiology 03 | CICU Bedside Foundations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 3 of the CICU Bedside Foundations series, we’re building on cardiac output and single ventricle physiology to talk shunts—and what they mean at the bedside. Rather than simply memorizing different shunt types, this episode introduces a practical framework for understanding why your patient needs a shunt in the first place, where the blood is flowing, what is driving that flow, and what could cause it to change. We discuss common shunt pathways, including the BTT shunt, Sano conduit, a
Single Ventricle Physiology 02 | CICU Bedside Foundations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What changes when one ventricle has two workloads? In the second episode of the CICU Bedside Foundations Series , we break down single ventricle physiology through a practical bedside lens—moving beyond the anatomy to understand where the blood is going, how well the single ventricle is functioning, and what your patient needs from you. We’ll explore the key questions every bedside nurse should be asking: ❤️ Is my patient currently in a one-ventricle or two-ventricle circulation ? ❤️ How well is
Cardiac Output 01 | CICU Bedside Foundations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does cardiac output actually look like at the bedside—and how do we recognize when it’s starting to fall? In Episode 1 of the CICU Bedside Foundations Series , we break cardiac output down into the pieces that matter most for bedside pediatric cardiac nurses. We’ll connect heart rate and stroke volume with the factors that influence forward flow, including preload, afterload, and contractility . We also take it one step further by connecting cardiac output to oxygen delivery and oxygen cons
04 ~ Cardiac Anesthesia "Cocktails" (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is anesthesia? Just a bunch of different medications that put people to sleep? Maybe, but if you would like to learn more from two Cardiac Anesthesiologists, please join us in a valuable discussion around the teamwork between ICU bedside RNs and Cardiac Anesthesiologists. Oh did I mention that this is just Part 1 of a 2 Part series?
