Monitoring the hemodynamic status of critically ill patient is an integral part of critical care nursing. It is essential that nurses should have a working knowledge of how to obtain accurate data and analyse it with their critical thinking. The first clinical simulation programme was conducted by the internal medicine service line to empower bedside nurses for advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The programme was designed for registered nurses working in critical care areas of internal medicine. The purpose was to provide aspiring nurses a combination of theory with hands-on simulation session.
A total of 19 nurses participated, the programme began with pre-test followed by a detailed theoretical session on advanced hemodynamic monitoring. In addition to that, medical and nursing management along with complication of delayed interventions was also thoroughly discussed with high focus on advanced hemodynamic parameters and its relation to septic shock patient. After that, they were divided into 4 groups for hands-on simulation where they experience realistic clinical scenarios. After the simulation, learners viewed their performance in a debriefing session which explored the element of patient safety, communication, team work and early identification of sepsis.
