Abstract
Hemodynamic and cardiovascular monitoring is essential for the management of critically ill patients. Various techniques of pressure surface, area, volume and flow measurements are used in intensive care. Systolic time intervals were widely used in cardiology 30 years ago and could be usefull in managing patients with hemodynamic instability. The present review tries to propose indices to estimate cardio-circulatory function in intensive care.
