Managing the challenge of IABP therapy.
The nurse's role requires the operation of the IABP, while at the same time, the ability to deliver quality nursing care. Knowledge of physiology, coordination of the principles of timing with hemodynamic effects, and skillful problem solving assure critical care nurses that they can effectively manage the IABP challenge.
Electrocardiography↗
Using an algorithm to interpret arterial blood gases.
The arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, one of the most common tests ordered, provides clinicians with valuable information on a patient's oxygenation and acid-base balance. Interpreting ABG analysis results can be challenging, even for the most experienced practitioners, because it requires knowledge of the physiology and cause-and-effect relationship of the disturbances. Applying the principles and the ABG algorithm described in this article will provide nurses with a systematic way to interpret uncomplicated arterial blood gas results, including primary, mixed, and compensated acidbase disturbances.
