Functional Hemodynamic Monitoring / Edition 1

by Michael R. Pinsky, Didier Payen

Overview

This is the newest volume in the softcover series "Update in Intensive Care Medicine".

It takes a novel, practical approach to analyzing hemodynamic monitoring, focusing on the patient and outcomes based on disease, treatment options and relevance of monitoring to direct patient care.

It will rapidly become a classic in the approach to patient monitoring and management during critical illness.

Editorial Reviews

3 Stars from Doody

Reviewer: David James Dries, MSE, MD (Regions Hospital)
Description: This review, a volume in the Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine series, is devoted to the basic science and recent technical developments in hemodynamic monitoring.
Purpose: Hemodynamic monitoring has always been a foundation of critical care medicine. Nonetheless, the role of invasive hemodynamic is being called into question. At the same time, recent years have seen new technology and exciting data. These are reviewed here.
Audience: Senior trainees and practitioners are an appropriate audience for this work. Editors and authors represent international authorities with an interest in hemodynamic monitoring.
Features: After providing a rationale for hemodynamic monitoring and review of pertinent physiology, the authors discuss traditional monitors including arterial and central venous catheters as well as pulmonary artery catheterization. Newer technologies using arterial pulse contour analysis, oxygen transport relationships and echocardiography applications are also reviewed. Several of the chapters review recent data on endpoints and markers of adequate resuscitation. Chapters are clearly written with line drawings and tables to present essential data. Each chapter has a table of contents and references dating to one or two years from publication. Primary sources are represented.
Assessment: This book gives critical care practitioners more background and insight into this important arena than the standard critical care textbook. There is an effective blend of disciplines and continental perspectives. Though I was disappointed at the presentation on some commercial technologies, I recommend this book for the shelf of critical care practitioners.
