Goal-directed therapy in intraoperative fluid and hemodynamic management. [PDF]
Intraoperative fluid management is pivotal to the outcome and success of surgery, especially in high-risk procedures. Empirical formula and invasive static monitoring have been traditionally used to guide intraoperative fluid management and assess volume

“Absent” unilateral pulmonary arteries aren't absent, but disconnected. Review of the current literature based on 4 cases [PDF]
Background: Disconnected unilateral pulmonary arteries are frequently misdiagnosed as “absent”. They typically arise from the base of the innominate artery and are fed by an aberrant arterial duct.

Consensus on circulatory shock and hemodynamic monitoring. Task force of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Circulatory shock is a life-threatening syndrome resulting in multiorgan failure and a high mortality rate. The aim of this consensus is to provide support to the bedside clinician regarding the diagnosis, management and monitoring of shock.

A Topological Data Analysis Study on Murine Pulmonary Arterial Trees with Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial blood pressure above 20 mmHg, is a cardiovascular disease impacting the pulmonary vasculature. PH is accompanied by vascular remodeling, wherein vessels become stiffer, large vessels dilate, and smaller vessels constrict.

Surgical embolectomy for acute massive pulmonary embolism: state of the art [PDF]
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can potentially lead to death caused by right ventricular (RV) failure and the consequent cardiogenic shock.

Automatic Pulmonary Artery-Vein Separation in CT Images using Twin-Pipe Network and Topology Reconstruction [PDF]
With the development of medical computer-aided diagnostic systems, pulmonary artery-vein(A/V) separation plays a crucial role in assisting doctors in preoperative planning for lung cancer surgery. However, distinguishing arterial from venous irrigation in chest CT images remains a challenge due to the similarity and complex structure of the arteries ...

Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.
