A2 - Kvetan, Vladimir PY - 1 T2 - Critical Care AB - KEY POINTSMeasurement of stroke volume and cardiac output is fundamen­tal to the hemodynamic management of critically ill patients in the ICU and unstable patients in the operating room.Common methods of measuring cardiac output include the pulmonary artery catheter, transpulmonary thermodilution, pulse contour analysis, esophageal Doppler and bioreactance technology.Periop­erative optimization of cardiac output with targeted fluid challenges reduces postoperative complica­tions and mortality.Targeting supranormal hemo­dynamic targets in patients with traumatic injuries and those with sepsis does not improve outcome and may be harmful.
