Overview

Description

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring provides information on the performance of the cardiovascular system: blood pressure, blood flow, volume status, vascular tone, and cardiac function, as well as lung status, e.g., pulmonary edema. By continuously monitoring and analyzing the pulsatile pressure waves generated by the heart, the structural and mechanical properties of the vascular system, and the physical properties of the blood, physicians gain important information that supports decision-making during hemodynamic instability.
