Hemodynamic monitoring using trans esophageal echocardiography in patients with shock

Evaluation of Cardiac Function in Patients with Brain Death using Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring

Background: Studies on hemodynamic changes in brain death are in vitro and in animal studies. And very few studies have been done on the hemodynamic changes of brain death. The aim of this study was to use advanced hemodynamic monitoring with echocardiography for evaluation of donated heart and to evaluate the moment by moment brain death patients with advanced hemodynamic monitoring tools and ...

Hemodynamic Monitoring Using Echocardiography in the Critically Ill - ReadingSample

The role of echocardiography in hemodynamic monitoring.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Echocardiography has become more widely available to noncardiologists because of the technological advances in smaller, multipurpose ultrasound units with basic cardiac capabilities. In this review, we discuss the type of clinical information a trained intensivist can hope to obtain from bedside echocardiography and suggest the ways in which this complements traditional hemody...

Transesophageal echocardiography in patients with esophageal varices.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has proved invaluable in the evaluation of a number of conditions, including stroke, endocarditis, prosthetic valves, and acute aortic syndromes, as well as in the preoperative and perioperative evaluation of valvular heart disease. The value of TEE must of course be balanced against the risk of performing the procedure. The insertion and manipulation of a...

Non-invasive monitoring of cardiac hemodynamic parameters in doxorubicin-treated patients: comparison with echocardiography.

Cardiotoxicity represents the major factor that limits the use of anthracyclines in long-term cancer chemotherapy, therefore, the early detection of cardiac dysfunction is very important. Currently, the left ventricular ejection fraction is routinely used to screen cardiotoxicity. The most common methods in use are represented by 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography and radionuclide angiography....
