Abstract
Most hemodynamic monitoring techniques have an associated cost. Although difficult to quantify, the cost of their implementation may be significant, particularly for techniques requiring prolonged high-level training, such as echocardiography. These costs, or upfront investments, may be an obstacle to hospital adoption. Importantly, a fair evaluation of the return on investment must take into account the potential savings associated with a reduction in postoperative complications and hospital length of stay.
