BACKGROUND: Administration of fluid to improve cardiac output is the mainstay of
hemodynamic resuscitation. Not all patients respond to fluid therapy, and excessive fluid …

Systolic cardiac function results from the interaction of four interdependent factors: heart rate,
preload, contractility, and afterload. Heart rate can be quantified easily at the bedside, while …

Background: The Institute of Medicine calls for the use of clinical guidelines and practice
parameters to promote “best practices” and to improve patient outcomes. Objective: 2007 …

Background Point‐of‐care ultrasonography (POCUS) is proposed as a valuable method for
hemodynamic monitoring and several ultrasound‐based predictors of fluid responsiveness …

This prospective study assessed whether respiratory variations in velocity time integral, peak
blood flow velocity and non‐invasive pleth variability index are useful measurements in …

Objective To investigate whether respiratory variations in aortic blood flow velocity (ΔVpeak
ao), systolic arterial pressure (ΔPS) and pulse pressure (ΔPP) could accurately predict fluid …

This study aimed to compare respiratory variation in transthoracic echo-derived aortic blood
flow velocity (∆ Vpeak) and inferior vena cava diameter (∆ IVCD) with central venous …

It is challenging to predict fluid responsiveness, that is, whether the cardiac index or stroke
volume index would be increased by fluid administration, in the pediatric population …

Objective: To predict fluid responsiveness by noninvasive methods in a pediatric critical care
population. Design: Prospective observational clinical trial. Setting: PICU in a tertiary care …

Objectives Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) based on pulse pressure variation (PPV) was
used in anaesthetized dogs undergoing abdominal surgeries. The aims were 1) to evaluate …
