  • Cardiac Cycle
    May 28 2025

    Dive into the heartbeat of anesthesia care with this episode of Cognitive Flow! We explore the cardiac cycle—the rhythmic sequence of heartbeats that drives blood flow through the body. Learn how its phases (diastole, systole, and more) are critical for maintaining patient stability during surgery.

    Why It’s Important:

    - Clinical Relevance: The cardiac cycle underpins hemodynamic stability, guiding anesthetic drug choices and fluid management to ensure organs receive adequate oxygen.

    - Practical Application: Understanding the cycle helps interpret vital signs on monitors like ECGs and arterial lines, enabling early detection of issues like low cardiac output.

    - Patient Safety: From young athletes to elderly patients, mastering the cardiac cycle ensures tailored care, preventing complications like hypotension or ischemia.

    What You’ll Learn:

    Through relatable scenarios, we break down how anesthesia impacts the heart’s filling and pumping phases and why this knowledge is essential for medical professionals and curious learners alike.

    Call to Action:
