The purpose of this paper is to review the normal arterial pressure waveform, contrast the differences in waveform morphology imposed by IAB pumping, explore challenging questions regarding blood ...

Pulsus paradoxus is the term used to describe an exaggerated blood pressure variation with the respiratory cycle. This can be found in cardiac tamponade or during chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Bedside monitors analyze the arterial waveform over several seconds and display an average of the highest and lowest pressure points measured during the sampling period. They are not programmed to ...
