HemoScope CVICU is an educational tool designed to help medical trainees and clinicians-in-training understand and practice bedside hemodynamic interpretation. The app integrates key cardiovascular calculations into a clear, intuitive interface — including mean arterial pressure (MAP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance (SVR, PVR), cardiac output (CO), and cardiac index (CI). Features: • Educational focus on physiology-based hemodynamic calculations • Classic and estimated Fick methods for cardiac output • Integrated BSA calculator (Mosteller formula) • Visual flags for abnormal parameters (e.g., high PVR, low CI) • Support for both metric and imperial units • Override options for machine-derived CO values Purpose: Designed for education and simulation only; not for clinical decision-making, diagnosis, or patient management.
