Hemodynamics is the study of blood flow and circulation in the body. The status is the findings of the blood flow in the person being studied.

Yes, a central venous pressure (CVP) measurement can be taken through a mediport. The mediport provides direct access to the central venous system, allowing for the measurement of CVP as part of assessing fluid status and hemodynamic monitoring.
The proximal port of a Swan-Ganz catheter is used for measuring right atrial pressure, while the distal port is used for measuring pulmonary artery pressure and obtaining mixed venous blood samples. This allows for monitoring hemodynamic parameters and assessing oxygenation status in critically ill patients.

Hemodynamic signals, the basis of functionality for the fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) involve detecting the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Blood with or without oxygen). Increasing neural activity causes a need for more oxygen, which increases the appearance of oxygenated hemoglobin around that specific neuron. Hemodynamic signals are used to detect active areas in the brain relative to inactive areas.
The diacritic notch on an arterial pressure waveform represents the point of closure of the aortic valve. It appears as a small dip in the waveform following the systolic upstroke and is indicative of the transition from systole to diastole. This notch is important for understanding the dynamics of cardiac function and helps in assessing hemodynamic status.
ECV stands for "Estimated Circulating Volume," which refers to the estimated volume of blood circulating in the body at any given time. It is often used in medical contexts to assess a patient's hemodynamic status and guide treatment decisions. Additionally, ECV can also refer to "Electric Commercial Vehicle" in the context of transportation and sustainability.
hemodynamic responses--the patient's blood pressure and heart rate
Simply stated as "blood flow compromise", which is anything that may prevent proper blood flow such as a hemorrhage, plaque atherosclerosis, etc.
Depending on the context and severity, simple tests include orthostatic vital signs, evaluation of capillary refill, and palpation of temperature.
