With more than thirty years spent studying heart monitors; pre- and post-heart transplant with Swan-Ganz readings, cardiac outputs, arterial lines and central venous lines. Intracranial pressure monitoring lines as well but would need to again study those. Very practiced at interpreting readings in relation to each individual patient with each one’s pathology, understanding what changes can mean in the individual’s case.
