Significance of hemodynamic monitoring in perioperative and critical care management in obstetric practice

Abstract

Assessment and optimization of hemodynamic parameters and oxygen delivery may improve outcome in critically ill patients. Optimum fluid management often needs to take hemodynamic parameter in to account. Comorbidity and critical illness during pregnancy contribute significantly to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This article will focus on the role of hemodynamic monitoring in the field of practice of obstetrics, perioperative and critical care management of obstetric patients with current evidence and type of hemodynamic monitoring technique for such patients. PubMed advanced and Google Scholar search with index word hemodynamic monitoring, haemodynamic monitoring, shock, obstetric, preeclampsia, heart disease, cardiac disease, hemodynamic monitoring in obstetric, hemodynamic monitoring in obstetrics, and haemodynamic monitoring in obstetric in different combinations to retrieve clinical trials, case series, and review articles for the current literature review.
