Hemodynamic Series: SVO2, The Most Undervalued Value
In this episode, we explore what, I think, is the most undervalued value in terms of hemodynamics. SVO2 is like shoving an O2 saturation probe into the pulmonary artery. This tells us a few things, but mainly oxygen consumption and delivery. Listen to the episode to find out what causes changes in SVO2 and what we can do to combat a low SVO2.

Hemodynamic Series: Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)
This episode is the second in the series reviewing hemodynamic values. SVR has so much potential when it comes to clinical decision making but I feel like it is underappreciated. Remember Systemic Vascular Resistance takes into account your MAP, CVP, and CO. It encompasses a lot of what determines the overall patient picture.

Hemodynamic Series: Stroke Volume
This episode marks the start of a new series on hemodynamics. I will be starting with stroke volume as it is one of the determinant factors of cardiac output along with heart rate. CO=SV X HR. There is a lot of information we can take away from stroke volume and the derivatives of the measurement but most importantly it is a much more reliant predictor of fluid responsiveness. This article goes into more detail: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3547212/ To clarify on the last point m...
