Sensitivity of Central Venous Pressure, Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure, and Intrathoracic Blood Volume as Indicators for Acute and Chronic Hypovolemia

  • Conference paper
Practical Applications of Fiberoptics in Critical Care Monitoring

Abstract

Restoration and maintenance of adequate circulating blood volume is an essential goal in the proper management of the critically ill patient. Hypovolemia ending up in irreversible circulatory shock as well as hypervolemia with its consecutive risk of hydrostatic pulmonary edema and cardiac volume overload have to be carefully avoided.
