Methods All patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic surgery had IDVG measured
following admission to the ICU. Other haemodynamic parameters, such as heart rate, blood …

I appreciate the interest shown by van Tulder et al.(1) in our fluid volume study (2) using
initial distribution volume of glucose (IDVG) as an indicator. They reported that IDVG was not …

IMPLICATIONS: Routine cardiovascular variables immediately after major surgery cannot
predict the subsequent hypovolemic hypotension produced by the shift of the extracellular …

The recent consensus by the Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) on intraoperative
hypotension (IOH) stated that mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60–70 mmHg is …

Study objective It remains unclear whether it is the hypotension prediction index itself or goal-
directed haemodynamic therapy that mitigates intraoperative hypotension. Design A single …

Purpose Recognition of intraoperative hypovolemia is important for fluid management.
Previous studies demonstrated functional preload parameter pulse pressure variation (PPV) …

Background Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is well-described in the academic setting but
not in community practice. IOH is associated with risk of postoperative morbidity and …

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

Background Early intraoperative hypotension (eIOH) is a common complication of general
anesthesia and is significantly associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. The …

Background The Hypotension Prediction Index is designed to predict intraoperative
hypotension in a timely manner and is based on arterial waveform analysis using machine …
