(1) Background: The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) is an algorithm that predicts hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) less than 65 mmHg for at least 1 min, based on waveform features. We tested the hypothesis use of this index reduces duration and severity hypotension during noncardiac surgery. (2) Methods: enrolled adults having moderate- or high-risk surgery with invasive monitoring. Participating patients were randomized 1:1 to standard care hemodynamic management HPI...
Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that an alveolar recruitment maneuver can restore lung compliance initial values after laparoscopic gynecological surgery. Methods: A total of 31 patients who underwent surgery were enrolled. Protective mechanical ventilation was applied, and radial artery catheterized in all patients. An (incremental decremental positive end-expiratory pressure) applied ten minutes release pneumoperitoneum. The respiratory mechanics blood...
Background/Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) and Stroke Volume (SVV) following a VtC can predict the response fluid administration patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia with protective mechanical ventilation. Methods: A total 40 or vascular without clamping aorta were enrolled. Protective ventilation was applied, radial artery catheterized all patients. protocol began one hour after induction stabilization...
We report a case of 35-year-old pregnant female Afghan origin who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) because pulmonary edema development when she in 30th week gestation. During bedside examination, transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed severe mitral valve stenosis and hypertension. The patient went into treatment with metoprolol for control tachycardia furosemide prevention fluid overload. 32nd gestation, medical council decided on cesarean section (CS) be carried out under...
