The ECG in assessment of myocardial reperfusion

…in the assessment of myocardial reperfusion The ECG is an invaluable tool to assess whether an occlusion has been resolved and blood flow has been…

Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Risk Stratification and Reperfusion

…The principal pathophysiological determinant of early adverse outcome is acute RV failure. In acute PE, obstruction of pulmonary blood flow increases RV pressure load and…

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

…include: Ventilator or capnograph not activated. Displacement of the tracheal tube. Cardiac arrest without adequate blood flow or ineffective compressions. While ETCO 2 is optimally…

🟠 Calculating Shunt Fraction (Qp/Qs) Using Echocardiography

…The shunt fraction (Qp/Qs) is a critical hemodynamic parameter used to quantify the ratio of pulmonary blood flow (Qp) to systemic blood flow (Qs)…

🟠 Mean arterial pressure (MAP) calculator

…A MAP of approximately 60 to 65 mmHg is generally considered the minimum threshold necessary to ensure sufficient blood flow to vital organs such as…

CPAP and non-invasive ventilation (NIV)

…marked work of breathing — the strongest indication, with a rapid effect on dyspnoea and oxygenation. Atelectasis and postoperative hypoxaemia. Hypoxaemic failure where high flow nasal…

Oxygen therapy

Anticoagulation Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation

…is the misapplication of this score. A high HAS BLED score (≥3) indicates a need for closer clinical monitoring and aggressive modification of reversible risk…

Right Ventricular Infarction: Recognition and Haemodynamic Management

…low output, or persistent severe symptoms require close monitoring and consideration of invasive haemodynamic assessment when precise measurements are needed to guide therapy. Diagnostics Electrocardiography…
