One of the most common lab values I have questions about from new nurses is the SvO2 and how it is used as an approximation for cardiac output. As a followup up to the episode on taking hearts this episode considers one of the most common lab values used in critical care to approximate cardiac output.
-
Caring for post operative CVOR patients can be one of the most rewarding and challenging shifts for a CVICU/ICU nurse. The following episode covers the basics of pre-operative assessment, intra-operative analysis, and post-operative care. By no means comprehensive, the episode seeks to cover the basics and provide a steady foundation for growth.
-
The following episode covers the basics of hyponatremia. This episode is a bit longer than most but the prevalence of hyponatremia in critical care warrants a slightly longer conversation.

The following episode covers the action potential in a neuron. Specific attention is paid to the critical role of electrochemical gradients and concentration gradients established by sodium and potassium. This episode also serves as an overview of the action potential generally.
-
The following episode introduces the electrolyte sodium. Lab collection, general overview of physiological processes, and defining critical terms. The next episode will cover in depth the physiological processes dependent upon sodium.
-
The following episode covers the basics of anti-platelet therapy.
