Conclusions: RV failure, defined by critical care echocardiography (RV dilatation) and a surrogate of venous conges‐ tion (CVP ≥ 8 mmHg), was frequently observed in septic shock patients and …

Nov 22, 2005 · Abstract Hemodynamic monitoring is a central component of intensive care. Patterns of hemodynamic variables often suggest cardiogenic, hypovolemic, obstructive, or distributive (septic) …

The use of large volumes for fluid challenge optimisation should be balanced to the detri-mental risk of fluid overload [9], primarily if safety limits (i.e., increase in CVP) dynamically indicate fluid non …

Finally, the “de-escalation” phase consists in fluid removal if a negative fluid balance is not spontaneously achieved, to counteract the side efects inherent to the initial resus-citation and fluid …

Feb 22, 2007 · Fluid management in the con- trol group was guided using the abovementioned routine car- diovascular monitoring and central venous pressure (CVP) measurement in order to keep CVP …

Sep 18, 2011 · ΔPLRPP cannot predict fluid responsiveness, even among patients with a minimal increase in CVP of 2 mmHg. On the basis of physiological knowledge, the use of PP as a substitute …

In those with normal lung compliance, PEEP in-creases caused an increase in CVP but reduced MAP, CPP, and mean velocities while ICP and cerebral compliances stayed the same. In those with low …

For example, the frequently used strategy of prescribing fluids based on a lower CVP or flat IVC [2]. Though not explicitly mentioned by Munoz and col-leagues, of equal importance in their data is the …

Jun 16, 2004 · state of shock is present if the score exceeds 2 points. CI, cardiac index; CVP, central venous pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; OPS, orthogonal polarization spectral imaging; Pfi, …

Jul 16, 1999 · The use of hydrocortisone in septic shock is gaining wider acceptance in everyday ITU clinical practice and this paper adds further evidence for a beneficial role, albeit not one of improving …
