Abstract OBJECTIVES: Measurement of blood pressure taken from different anatomical sites, are often perceived as interchangeable, despite them representing different parts of the systemic circulation. We aimed to perform a..

Abstract Background Low cardiac power (product of flow and pressure) has been shown to be associated with mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction, but has not..

Abstract Purpose After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the radial artery pressure is frequently lower than the central pressure as reflected by femoral pressure. This discrepancy may cause improper blood..

Abstract Hemodynamic instability is frequently present in critically ill patients, primarily caused by a decreased preload, contractility, and/or afterload. We hypothesized that peripheral arterial blood pressure waveforms allow to differentiate..

Abstract Study objective Low (BIS) values have been associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. However, trials of optimizing BIS by titrating anesthetic administration have reported conflicting results. One potential explanation is that may..
