Objectives The objective of this study is to describe the changes on microcirculation after a
fluid challenge and describe the relationship with the changes on Pmsf. Our hypothesis is …

Evaluation of fluid volume status in critically ill patients is important in medical and surgical
management. However, commonly monitored variables, including pulmonary artery wedge …

We read with interest the recently published position papers on central venous pressure
(CVP)[1] and cardiac output (CO)[2] monitoring in critically ill patients and wish to further …

Fluid overdose can be harmful in critically ill patients. Since central venous pressure (CVP)
is currently considered to be an inappropriate indicator of preload, much attention is being …

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of fluid management of severe patients
according to arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) monitoring volume …

Background: Although the central venous pressure (CVP) is often used as a guide to volume
status in major surgery and intensive care, fluid therapy should be guided by the response of …

In critically ill patients, fluid infusion is aimed at increasing cardiac output and tissue
perfusion. However, it may contribute to fluid overload which may be harmful. Thus, volume …

Objective: To compare the relationship between variability in nitroprusside delivery from five
infusion pumps and the resulting variability in mean arterial pressure (MAP). Design …

The distribution and elimination kinetics of the water volume in infusion fluids can be studied
by volume kinetics. The approach is a modification of drug pharmacokinetics and uses …
