Effectiveness of a Computer Application in Improving Pulmonary Artery Catheter Waveform Interpretation

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pulmonary Artery Catheter Waveform Interpretation

In brief

Skill with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) waveform interpretation is inadequate among physicians and nurses. We, the investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital, have developed a web-based computer program to assist physicians and nurses in PAC waveform interpretation. We will study the effectiveness of this program on improving the interpretation of waveforms on a computer-based test.
