Capnography (end-tidal carbon dioxide measurement, ETCO2) during cardiac arrest

…ECMO) initiation ( Soar et al ). ETCO 2 trends can vary during CPR depending on various factors such as the cause of cardiac arrest, compression efficacy…

Stroke Volume, VTI (Velocity Time Integral) & Cardiac Output

…the diameter is greatest (usually halfway through systole). Zoom in LVOT to improve the accuracy of the measurement. Flow velocity in LVOT : Velocity is measured…

Targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest

…null The current ERC and ESICM recommendation is continuous core temperature measurement and the active prevention of fever — defined as a temperature above about 37…

Central venous catheter

🟠 Calculating Shunt Fraction (Qp/Qs) Using Echocardiography

…the ratio of pulmonary blood flow (Qp) to systemic blood flow (Qs). This measurement is pivotal in diagnosing and managing congenital or acquired cardiac shunts…

Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction

…functional cardiac abnormality or raised natriuretic peptides is not mandatory for HFmrEF when the diagnosis of heart failure is clinically secure and the LVEF measurement…

Carotid Artery Disease: Screening, Medical Therapy and Revascularisation

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Diagnosis and Treatment

…are elevated. The syndrome is therefore defined by symptoms and signs of congestion or impaired cardiac performance rather than by ejection fraction alone. Heart failure…

High-Sensitivity Troponin: 0/1-Hour Rule-In and Rule-Out Algorithms
