Abstract
The physician who takes care of critically ill patients is often faced with the problem of evaluating their effective intravascular volume. In this evaluation, which is a key factor in therapeutic decision-making in critical care, the physician uses parameters such as blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) as well as urine output and cardiac output when available. Over the last few years we have been studying the changes that occur in the arterial pressure waveform in response to mechanical ventilation as an additional parameter that may further illuminate the cardiovascular status.
