Utility of Impedance Cardiography to Improve Physician Estimation of Hemodynamic Parameters in the Emergency Department

Emergency physicians must often make assessments of complex hemodynamic parameters. To assess the utility of impedance cardiography (ICG) in the emergency department, the authors examined treating ...

The Use of Inotropic Agents in Septic Shock

Do you have a maximum dose for inotropes (eg, 2 mcg/kg/min for noradrenaline)? Also, if you have invasive monitoring for a septic patient, eg, pulmonary artery (PA) catheter, would you push up your ...
