Respiratory Monitoring in Mechanical Ventilation: Techniques and Applications
This book covers the up-to-date advancement of respiratory monitoring in ventilation support as well as detecting the physiological responses to therapeutic interventions to avoid complications. Mechanical ventilation nowadays... read more
Evidence-Based Critical Care
This is the premier evidence-based textbook in critical care medicine. The Third Edition features updated and revised chapters, numerous new references, streamlined content, and new chapters on key topics such as the new... 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
Accuracy of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in ICU Patients
In this scoping review of CGM accuracy in the ICU, we found great diversity in accuracy reporting. Accuracy varied depending on CGM and comparator, and may be better for intravascular CGM and potentially lower during hypoglycemia. We... 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
Critical Care Device Series: External Ventricular Drain
External ventricular drainage (EVD), is one of the most frequently performed neurosurgical procedures, with approximately 20,000 performed annually. EVD placement is often considered a lifesaving measure to alleviate severe... read more
Longitudinal Vasoactive Inotrope Score Trajectories and Their Prognostic Significance in Critically Ill Sepsis Patients
This study offers significant insights into the prognostic value of VIS trajectories in sepsis patients. The identification of distinct trajectory patterns not only underscores the heterogeneity in sepsis but also emphasizes... read more
Another Perspective on Tidal Volume: From Statistics to Uncertainty
We have read with great interest the recent editorial by Pellegrini et al. Undoubtedly, now more than ever, we have begun to question the true role of tidal volume (VT) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As... read more
Perioperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Goal Directed Therapy: From Theory to Practice
This unique book provides clinicians and administrators with a comprehensive understanding of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring and goal directed therapy, emphasizing practical guidance for implementation at the bedside.... read more
Nursing Care and ECMO
This highly informative book provides essential insights for ICU nurses at ECMO centers around the world, who face the substantial challenges involved in the management of ECMO patients. Above all, it meets their training... read more
Fluid Boluses May Improve CRT
Several studies have validated capillary refill time (CRT) as a marker of tissue hypoperfusion, and recent guidelines recommend CRT monitoring during septic shock resuscitation. Therefore, it is relevant to further explore... read more
10 Reasons for Pharmacy Professionals Presence in the ICU
The momentum exists for establishing and expanding ICU pharmacy practice throughout Europe. A first step should be a White Paper, describing the roles and key priorities for ICU pharmacy professionals. Education should... read more
Simple Blood Test Indicating Sepsis Relapse
Sepsis is often not adequately diagnosed at the early stage when it could still be potentially avoidable. In this report, we describe the dramatic hematological changes found in the blood of a sepsis survivor just after discharge... read more
ECMO-Extracorporeal Life Support in Adults
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been in clinical use for some 40 years, but it is only in the past decade that its application in the treatment of life-threatening circulatory and respiratory failure has truly... read more
Workbook on Hemodynamic Management
This workbook focuses on hemodynamics management. Hemodynamic management should be aimed at minimizing the ischemic injury. Cerebral ischemia impairs the brain's ability to autoregulate its circulation through vasoconstriction... read more
