Continuous Monitoring of Organ Chemistry — a Paradigm Shift in Management of Intensive Care

  • Conference paper
Anaesthesia, Pain, Intensive Care and Emergency A.P.I.C.E.

Abstract

For decades we have discussed the possibilities that will open up once we have biosensors that can be implanted into individual organs providing us with invaluable bedside information about their metabolic state during intensive care. However, developing such sensors has proven much more difficult than anyone could have foreseen.
