Static and Functional Hemodynamic Profiles of Women with Abnormal Uterine Artery Doppler at 22-24 Weeks of Gestation. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE:To compare cardiac function, systemic hemodynamics and preload reserve of women with increased (cases) and normal (controls) uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) at 22-24 weeks of gestation.

Fluid responsiveness assessments have shown to be an important matter in perioperative fluid optimization. Respiratory variations in pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform amplitude (∆POP) and passive leg raising have been shown as promising indicators

Differential Cardiac Responses after Passive Leg Raising
This study retrospectively examined the hemodynamic effects of passive leg raising (PLR) in mechanically ventilated patients during fluid removal before spontaneous breathing trials. In previous studies, we noticed varying cardiac responses after PLR completion, particularly in positive tests.

The use of an external ultrasound fixator (Probefix) on intensive care patients: a feasibility study
Background In critical care medicine, the use of transthoracic echo (TTE) is expanding. TTE can be used to measure dynamic parameters such as cardiac output (CO). An important asset of TTE is that it is a non-invasive technique.

Prediction of fluid responsiveness. What’s new?
Although the administration of fluid is the first treatment considered in almost all cases of circulatory failure, this therapeutic option poses two essential problems: the increase in cardiac output induced by a bolus of fluid is inconstant, and the ...

Passive Leg Raise: Feasibility and Safety of the Maneuver in Patients With Undifferentiated Shock
Purpose: Passive leg raise (PLR), in combination with technologies capable of capturing stroke volume changes, has been widely adopted in the management of shock. However, dedicated evaluation of safety, feasibility, and receptiveness of patients and nursing staff to PLR maneuver is missing.

Use of speckle-tracking strain in preload-dependent patients, need for cautious interpretation!
Background In critical patients, left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening are used to reflect left ventricular systolic function. An emerging technique, two-dimensional-strain echocardiography, allows assessment of the left ventricle ...
