Dear Editor, I read with interest the letter by Dr. Parkin [1], who raised several points that are
in full agreement with what I wrote in my editorial [2]. Dr. Parkin must be respected for …

Background The cumulative fluid balance of critically ill patients seems to be an outcome‐
relevant variable. However, there are no validated data for their reliability calculated for …

Many efforts have been made to predict, before giving fluid, whether it will increase cardiac
output. Nevertheless, after fluid administration, it is also essential to assess the therapeutic …

Objective: This study aims to describe the pharmacodynamics of a fluid challenge over a 10-
minute period in postoperative patients. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting …

Objective: Dynamic variables of fluid responsiveness such as pulse pressure variation (PPV)
and stroke volume variation (SVV) have been shown to reliably predict the response to fluid …

Objective: Validation of plasma volume (PV) determination by indocyanine green (ICG) in
comparison to the gold-standard method with radioiodinated albumin, and investigation of …

Background: The aim of the study was to assess the coherence between systemic
hemodynamic and microcirculatory response to a fluid challenge (FC) in critically ill patients …

Objective: Estimation of stroke volume variation (eg systolic blood pressure and systolic area
variability) and central extracellular compartment volume (eg initial volume of distribution of …

Background. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is an alternative to blood transfusion
in surgeries involving blood loss. This experimental study was designed to evaluate whether …

Objective: To evaluate to which extent the systemic arterial pulse pressure could be used as
a surrogate of cardiac output for assessing the effects of a fluid challenge and of …
