The Vasopressor & Inotrope Handbook: A Practical Guide for Healthcare Professionals
An indispensable resource for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and nurses in managing critically ill patients. This comprehensive guide delves deep into the world of vasopressors and inotropes,... read more
Increased Sound Levels in the Cardiac ICU Associated with Increased Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Sedation
Sound levels in the CICU were consistently higher than recommended. An increase in heart rate, blood pressure and sedation utilization may suggest a stress response to persistent and sudden loud sounds. Given known negative... read more
Personalizing Beta-blockade in Septic Shock
Clinical trials provide only part of the necessary framework for clinical decision-making. In practice, a detailed understanding of each patient’s hemodynamic profile is essential. We believe that the echocardiography-guided... read more
Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (MV-TEER) in Patients with Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Improves Hemodynamics, Enhances Renal Function, and Optimizes Quality of Life in Patients with Advanced Renal Insufficiency
Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular heart disease burdening the prognosis of patients with co-existing chronic heart failure. Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (MV-TEER) is a minimally... read more
Effects of Surgery on Hemodynamics and Postoperative Delirium in Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection
The results of this study indicate that surgical intervention has a significant effect on improving patients’ hemodynamic parameters, with postoperative MAAD and LVEDd reduced compared to preoperative levels, while LVEF... read more
Protocolized Fluid Balance Neutralization During CRRT
Bitker et al. report the GO NEUTRAL randomized clinical trial results, which investigated fluid balance neutralization guided by functional hemodynamic monitoring (FHM) protocol versus a standard of care in critically ill... read more
Hemodynamic Monitoring Using Echocardiography in the Critically Ill
The hemodynamic evaluation of patients with acute circulatory failure and respiratory failure has in the past usually been performed using invasive procedures but in recent years less invasive monitoring devices have been... read more
UFNET Fluid Removal Strategy Secured by Hemodynamic Monitoring vs. Standard of Care in patients with CRRT
An early and active UFNET strategy secured by an advanced hemodynamic protocol using dynamic indices of preload dependence had the capacity to control H72 FB in an ICU population of patients with acute circulatory failure,... read more
Practical Issues in Anesthesia and Intensive Care
The contents of this book are a selection taken from materials that have been developed during the preparation of continuing education courses (distance learning), whose scientific advisor is the volume editor, Professor... read more
Resuscitation Arterial Waveform Quantification and Outcomes in Pediatric Patients
Providing physiologically adequate CPR for pediatric single ventricle patients palliated with Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) or Fontan physiology is challenging. Only 27% of Fontan patients survived to hospital discharge with... read more
Hemodynamic Monitoring in the ICU
This book describes the pathophysiological significance of the hemodynamic monitoring parameters available to the clinician and their role in providing reliable and reproducible information on the cardiocirculatory status... read more
Non-invasive vs. Arterial Pressure Monitoring in the Pre-hospital Critical Care Environment
Non-invasive blood pressure measurements are often inaccurate within the pre-hospital critical care setting, particularly in patients with hemodynamic instability which are the group in which the accuracy of vital signs is... read more
Hemodynamics in the Echocardiography Laboratory
The book provides a practically focused review of the latest techniques used for hemodynamic assessment in the echocardiography laboratory. It features a methodical case-based approach covering how to measure hemodynamic... read more
Effect of Different Shock Conditions on Mesenteric Hemodynamics
The velocity parameters of SMA Doppler ultrasound such as TAMV and PSV can reflect cardiac function. The measurements of SMA RI and PI are correlated with lactate levels, having a positive predictive value for hyperlactatemia... read more
Noninvasive Monitoring of Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics During Prolonged Field Care for Hemorrhagic Shock and Hypoxia-Induced Injuries With Portable Diffuse Optical Sensors
There is a consistency in blood flow measures in both injury mechanisms (hemorrhagic shock and hypoxia), which is significant as the new prototype system provides similar measures and trends for each brain injury type, suggesting... read more
