The clinical application analysis of arterial pressure waveform

Invasive monitoring of blood pressure obtained via arterial cannula provides not only continuous measurement of arterial pressure. Analysis of an arterial waveform and knowledge of the physiological mechanism that influence the shape of arterial waveforms help us to asses global hemodynamic status.

Keywords: arterial pressure waveform.
