Hemodynamic monitoring is a cornerstone in the assessment of patients with circulatory shock. Timely recognition of hemodynamic compromise and proper optimisation is essential to ensure adequate tissue perfusion and maintain renal, hepatic, abdominal, and cerebral functions. Hemodynamic monitoring has significantly evolved since the first inception of the pulmonary artery catheter more than 50 years ago. Bedside echocardiography, when combined with noninvasive and minimally invasive technologies, provides tools to monitor and quantify the cardiac output to promptly react and improve hemodynamic management in an acute care setting. Commonly used technologies include noninvasive pulse-wave analysis, pulse-wave transit time, thoracic bioimpedance and bioreactance, esophageal Doppler, minimally invasive pulse-wave analysis, transpulmonary thermodilution, and pulmonary artery catheter. These monitoring strategies are reviewed here, along with detailed analysis of their operating mode, particularities, and limitations. The use of artificial intelligence to enhance performance and effectiveness of hemodynamic monitoring is reviewed to apprehend future possibilities.

Context: Heart rate (HR) is the most vital parameter to assess hemodynamic transition at birth. ECG is considered a gold standard for HR assessment. New devices with dry electrodes are easy to apply on a wet newborn.

Objective: To assess the agreement of transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) and transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) against direct measurement of main pulmonary artery flow with an ultrasound transit time flow probe (UTF) over a wide range of conditions in anesthetized cats. Additionally, the trending ability of TPTD, TPUD, and esophageal Doppler ultrasonography (EDU) was evaluated against UTF.

Methods: 12 purpose-bred cats were used.

Objective: To describe the presentation, outcomes, and management strategies for cases of subcapsular liver hematoma associated with preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Methods: This was a case series of individuals with subcapsular liver hematoma managed at a single level IV center over a 10-year period, from 2013 to 2024. Presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, time of onset, management strategies, acute perinatal and maternal outcomes, and long-term outcomes such as subsequent pregnancies were reviewed in the medical record and recorded.

Hemodynamic treatment is a core task in the intensive medical care of cardiac surgery patients. The patient's underlying disease, the type of surgical procedure and the patient's individual characteristics play key roles in the selection of the treatment regimen. The basis of any targeted hemodynamic treatment is the differential diagnosis of the underlying pathological disorder.

Background: Perioperative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study aimed to demonstrate proof of concept in generating intraoperative RV pressure-volume (PV) loops and conducting an end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) analysis using data obtained from routinely used intraoperative monitors.

Methods: Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) between May 2023 and March 2024 were included prospectively.
