The Pulse Index Contour Continuous Cardiac Output (PICCO) module provides advanced and continuous monitoring of cardiac output through the use of arterial pulse contour analysis and transpulmonary thermodilution. The objective of this study was to compare the early postoperative outcomes of patients who were monitored using the conventional method and the pulse contour analysis method. A prospective observational study was conducted involving 45 patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2020 and 2022.

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring is fundamental in the management of the critically ill. Blood pressure and cardiac function are key markers of cardiovascular system function;, thus, having accurate measurements of these parameters in critically ill patients is essential. Currently, there are various methods available to choose from, as well as a greater understanding of the methods and criteria to be able to compare devices and select the best option for our patients' needs.

Background: Quantification of pulmonary edema in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by chest computed tomography (CT) scan has not been validated in routine diagnostics due to its complexity and time-consuming nature. Therefore, the single-indicator transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique to measure extravascular lung water (EVLW) has been used in the clinical setting. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have now enabled CT images of inhomogeneous lungs to be segmented automatically by an intensive care physician with no prior radiology training within a relatively short time.

Clinical monitoring of pulmonary edema due to vascular hyperpermeability in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) poses significant clinical challenges. Presently, no biological or radiological markers are available for quantifying pulmonary edema. Our aim was to phenotype pulmonary edema and pulmonary vascular permeability in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ARDS.

Purpose: Net ultrafiltration (UF) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can control fluid balance (FB), but is usually 0 ml·h in patients with vasopressors due to the risk of hemodynamic instability associated with CRRT (HIRRT). We evaluated a UF strategy adjusted by functional hemodynamics to control the FB of patients with vasopressors, compared to the standard of care.
Methods: In this randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel-group, multicenter, proof-of-concept trial, adults receiving vasopressors, CRRT since ≤ 24 h and cardiac output monitoring were randomized (ratio 1:1) to receive during 72 h a UF ≥ 100 ml·h, adjusted using a functional hemodynamic protocol (intervention), or a UF ≤ 25 ml·h (control).
