Ventriculo-arterial coupling: from physiological concept to clinical application in peri-operative care and ICUs

AUTHORS: Guinot, Pierre-Grégoire et al  European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care: April 2022 – Volume 1 – Issue 2 – p e004 Abstract As an extension of the traditional heart-centred pressure-flow model, the ventriculo-arterial coupling concept is based on the pressure–volume relationship of the left ventricle and the vascular system. Even though ventriculo-arterial coupling has […]

A Randomized Pilot Study Assessing if SEDLine Monitoring During Induction of Surgical Patients is Associated With Reduced Dosage of Administered Induction Agents

Authors: Martin Krause Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesthesia Oct 5, 2022 Abstract Background. Intubations, especially in emergent settings, carry a high risk of hemodynamic instability with potentially catastrophic outcomes. Weight-based dosing of induction drugs can be inappropriately high for elective or emergent intubations and lead to hemodynamic instability. We hypothesized that monitoring the patient state index […]
