Goal directed therapy: how long can we wait?
Intensive monitoring and aggressive management of perioperative haemodynamics (goal directed therapy) have repeatedly been reported to reduce the significant morbidity and mortality associated with high risk surgery. It may not matter what particular monitor is used to assess cardiac output but it is essential to ensure adequate oxygen delivery. If this management cannot begin preoperatively, i...
متن کاملNoninvasive ventilation for acute lung injury: how often should we try, how often should we fail?
The selection of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) to receive noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is challenging, partly because there are few reliable selection criteria. The study by Rana and colleagues in the previous issue of Critical Care identifies metabolic acidosis and a lower oxygenation index as predictors of NIV failure, although it is unable to...
متن کاملHemodynamic goal-directed therapy. A review
Patients can show arterial pressure and cardiac index within the normal range and still be in circulatory shock if oxygen and metabolic demand is increased or blood flow distribution is altered.Lactate is produced in anaerobic environment to preserve cellular integrity and physicians use its blood concentration value as a reliable marker of tissue hypoxia and energy failure.The authors review t...
متن کاملHypertension in the elderly: can we improve results of therapy?
Awareness of and therapy for hypertension in the United States have been increasing in older patients. Despite this improvement, hypertension continues to be poorly controlled in this patient population. The control rate, defined as systolic blood pressure less than 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, is surprisingly low for older patients, despite abundant data documenti...
