ABSTRACT
Introduction Hemodynamics, by denition, is the study of the motion of blood through the vascular system. In simple clinical application, this may include the assessment of a patient’s heart rate, pulse quality, blood pressure, capillary rell, skin color, skin temperature, and other parameters.1 As the complexity of the patient’s status increases, invasive hemodynamic monitoring may be utilized to provide a more advanced assessment and to guide therapeutic interventions.
