Abstract
Hemodynamic monitoring in the ICU has continued to evolve over the years. On the one hand, the industry constantly offers new tools that can be methodologically validated to provide clinicians with the terms of use and limitations of these devices. On the other hand, researchers are attempting to innovate and discover new indices and/or markers that can replace discontinuous and invasive measures of cardiac output and indices that can predict fluid responsiveness in patients who are in a state of shock. In the present book, the authors revealed various hemodynamic monitoring techniques available for the intensivist. As we have shown, each technique has its advantages and limitations. For several years, the subsidized intensive care industry has developed monitoring devices that measure various parameters and are less invasive than the classical pulmonary artery catheter. Nevertheless, the cardiac output remains the most significant and important hemodynamic variable and marker.
