Functional hemodynamic parameters, such as stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse
pressure variation (PPV), are useful hemodynamic monitoring tools for the assessment of …

The current anaesthesia information management system (AIMS) has limited capability for
the acquisition of high-quality vital signs data. We have developed a Vital Recorder program …

In the present review we will describe and discuss the physiological and technological
background necessary in understanding the dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness …

Asynchronous breathing (AB) during mechanical ventilation (MV) may lead to a detrimental
effect on the patient's condition. Due to the massive amount of data displayed in a large ICU …

BACKGROUND: Systemic arterial respiratory variation has been shown to be a reliable
predictor of changes in cardiac output after fluid administration. Arterial respiratory variation …

Purpose The aim of this study is to study the feasibility, safety, and physiological effects of
pulse pressure variation (PPV)–guided fluid therapy in patients after cardiac surgery …

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) can be monitored several ways, but according to recent
survey data it is most often visually estimated (“eyeballed”) by practitioners. It is not known …

USE OF THE pulmonary artery catheter, the current clinical gold standard for cardiac output
(CO) measurement, 1–4 is declining rapidly particularly outside cardiothoracic surgery. 5, 6 …

Objective: Arterial pulse pressure variation (PPV) is widely used for predicting fluid
responsiveness and supporting fluid management in the operating room and intensive care …

Background: Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is an accepted measure of intravascular filling.
It can now be estimated automatically. However, there is limited knowledge of the …
