چکیده
Shannon Womble, Marlene Wallace, and Jerry McCartney are staff nurses in the surgical intensive care unit of the 59th Medical Wing at Lackland AFB. with various phases of pregnancy is important in the interpretation of patients’ hemodynamic profiles and clinical findings. This section provides an overview of the expected hemodynamic changes that occur during pregnancy, at the time of delivery, and during the postpartum phase (Table 1).

A System for Continuous Estimating and Monitoring Cardiac Output via Arterial Waveform Analysis
Background: Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Sev...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic optimization improves postoperative outcomes in high-risk surgery patients. The monitoring of cardiac output (CO) and dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness can guide hemodynamic optimization. We conducted a survey to assess the current hemodynamic monitoring and management practices of Korean anesthesiologists during high-risk surgery. METHODS E-mails containing a ...
متن کاملHemodynamic assessment in a pregnant and peripartum patient.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Critical care in obstetrics has many similarities in pathophysiology to the care of nonpregnant women. However, changes in the physiology of pregnant woman necessary to maintain homeostasis for both mother and fetus, especially during critical illness, result in complex pathophysiology. Understanding the normal physiologic changes during pregnancy, intrapartum, and postpartum is...
