Abstract
Summary
Intensive Care Medicine is concerned with the provision of life support
and body systems support in patients who require intensive monitoring as
they are critically ill specially those whose condition is potentially reversible
and with a good chance of survival with intensive care support of underlying
condition that can be overcome.
The goal of HD monitoring is to maintain adequate tissue perfusion. In
critically ill patients as hypoxia and ischemia of vital organs can lead to
multiple organ systems dysfunction and death. Classical HD is based on the
invasive methods.
The hemodynamic status of the critically ill patient is often monitored
using clinical signs (e.g. capillary refill and urine output) and measurements
of blood pressure and central venous pressure.
Clinical signs however, are often unreliable predictors of the condition
alone.
The esophageal Doppler monitoring provides noninvasive technique
for monitoring. Its advantages include ease of use and absence of
complications that can be associated with other more invasive methods of
monitoring with continuous monitoring of the effects of fluid and inotropic
therapy to be observed immediately with advantage of optimal titration of
therapy.
The CardioQ-ODM® is designed to allow intensivists to guide fluid
and drug administration during Critical Care and tracking changes in SV and
CO during intervention especially in shocked patients.
