Excerpt

Making clinical decisions under duress with little information is “business as usual” for front line resuscitationists like emergency physicians, intensivists, and anesthesiologists. That said, undifferentiated shock can be a cognitively and psychologically challenging clinical problem even for the most experienced providers. As such, there has long been a fascination with point-of-care hemodynamic monitoring tools, in hopes that they can decrypt shock physiology and guide us when confronting the complexities of circulatory failure. …
