Abstract
Due to a lower risk of complications, non-invasive monitoring methods gain importance. Measuring arterial blood pressure belongs to the standard hemodynamic monitoring. A newly developed continuous non-invasive arterial blood pressure (CNAP) measurement method is available and has been validated perioperatively [1]. We compared the CNAP monitoring device with invasive arterial blood pressure measurement (IBP) as the gold standard in critically ill patients.

In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone abnormalities and major cardiovascular events and sudden cardiac death at 3 and 6 months after discharge in patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department with acute coronary syndrome

Summary
The aim of this study was to assess and compare the ability of the automatically and continuously measured pulse pressure variation (PPV) obtained by an IntelliVue MP monitor and stroke volume variation (SVV) measured by FloTracTM/VigileoTM to predict fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a novel renal biomarker showing promising results in prediction of AKI in patients across different clinical settings Another potential marker is the resistive index (RI) of renal interlobar artery (calculated as (peak systolic velocity – end diastolic velocity) / peak systolic velocity), which has been shown to be useful in identifying those who will develop AKI in patients with septic shock.
