Hemodynamic Monitoring (Lessons from the ICU)
This book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine textbook series, teaches readers how to use hemodynamic monitoring, an essential skill for today's intensivists. It offers a valuable guide for beginners,... read more
Multi-Organ Point-Of-Care Ultrasound in AKI
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome caused by a multitude of hemodynamic, toxic, and structural insults to the kidney, and portends worse patient outcomes. Despite careful history taking, physical examination,... read more
Indicators for Monitoring COVID-19 Community Levels and Making Public Health Recommendations
Widespread uptake of COVID-19 vaccines that are highly effective against severe illness and death, the accrual of high rates of vaccine- and infection-induced immunity at the population level, and the availability of effective... read more
Effect of Intra-arrest Transport, ECPR, and Treatment on Functional Neurologic Outcome
Among patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the bundle of early intra-arrest transport, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and invasive assessment and treatment did not significantly improve... read more
Cerebral Hypoperfusion Detection with Dynamic Hyperoxia Test
In a heterogeneous population of acute brain-injured patients, cerebral multimodal monitoring with intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygen pressure (PbtO2) detected regional cerebral hypoperfusion with a higher... read more

Noninvasive Respiratory Support for COVID-19 Patients: When, for Whom, and How?
The significant mortality rate and prolonged ventilator days associated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients with severe COVID-19 have incited a debate surrounding the use of noninvasive respiratory support... read more
Predicting Outcomes in Pediatric Trauma Patients Using rSI Multiplied by GCS
Reverse shock index multiplied by Glasgow Coma Scale outperformed SI and shock index pediatric age-adjusted (SIPA) in the early identification of traumatically injured children at risk for early interventions, such as blood... read more
Accuracy of Cumulative Volumes of Fluid Challenge in Critically Ill Patients
A volume of fluid challenge (FC) of 250 ml with a threshold of 9.6% increase in stroke volume (SV) showed the highest accuracy in detecting fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients with shock. A prospective observational... read more
The Importance of Accurate Glucose Monitoring in Critically Ill Patients
Critically ill patients are not found just in intensive care units, but throughout the hospital: emergency departments, post-anaesthesia care units, operating rooms, and many other environments now care for the critically... read more
Respiratory Monitoring in Mechanical Ventilation: Techniques and Applications
