BACKGROUND Hemodynamic optimization improves postoperative outcomes in high-risk surgery patients. The monitoring of cardiac output (CO) and dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness can guide hemodynamic optimization. We conducted a survey to assess the current hemodynamic monitoring and management practices of Korean anesthesiologists during high-risk surgery. METHODS E-mails containing a ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The influence of occlusion of the thoracic aorta by an intraluminal balloon on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels was evaluated in humans. METHODS The changes in plasma ANP and plasma norepinephrine levels, and hemodynamic parameters were measured in 10 patients under general anesthesia undergoing regional chemotherapy treatment involving the 15-min inflation and s...

Introduction The study examined the effects of cuff inflation of a ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway on the carotid bulb during sevoflurane induction in pediatric population. The hemodynamic parameters measured were: systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate and sovraortic flow trough measurements of bilateral carotid cross sectional area, velocity of blood flow, resistance index, flow accelerati...

Background: Pyometra is defined as chronic purulent inflammation of the uterus that causes changes in hematological and biochemical parameters. The disease characterized with bacterial infection pus accumulation uterus. Transabdominal B-mode ultrasonography provides easy certain diagnosis this disease. hemodynamic pyometra are evaluated by Doppler ultrasonography. aim study to determine paramet...
