Authors: Luigi Camporota, Marius Terblanche, David Bennett

Published in: Critical Care | Issue 5/2008

Abstract

This review summarises key research papers in the fields of cardiology and intensive care published during 2007 in Critical Care. To create a context and for comparison with the papers described in the review, we cite studies on the same subject published in other journals. The papers have been grouped into four categories: venous oximetry, cardiac surgery, perioperative fluid optimisation, and haemodynamic monitoring.
