#244 Arterial Line Waveform Explained: Placement, Normal Waveform & Pulse Pressure Variation
In this episode of Whiteboard Medicine, we break down the fundamentals of arterial line monitoring and how to interpret the arterial pressure waveform at the bedside. Arterial lines are one of the most powerful tools for managing critically ill patients in the ICU, emergency department, and operating room, but accurate interpretation requires understanding the underlying hemodynamic physiology. In this episode we walk through how arterial lines are placed, the key components of the normal arterial waveform, and how clinicians can use pulse pressure variation (PPV) to assess fluid…
