8 interactive modules
- Guided pathFive steps: measurement quality, chambers, waveforms, calculations, then cases.
- CalculatorEnter right heart cath numbers to get derived values and a cited reading.
- CasesInterpret blinded right heart cath cases, rate your confidence, then compare.
- Swan journeyAdvance a PA catheter from right atrium to wedge and watch the waveform change.
- CVP waveform labChange the physiology and watch the a, c, v waves and x, y descents respond.
- PitfallsPractise zeroing, leveling, damping, wedge checks and catheter whip.
- Provocation and PHClassify pulmonary hypertension and run vasodilator, exercise and fluid tests.
- Congestion trackerPlot RAP and PCWP over time to see how treatment shifts congestion.
