Over the last decade a number of studies have been reported that have used heart–lung interactions during mechanical ventilation to assess fluid responsiveness. Specifically, the pulse pressure ...

The new device uses sound waves to gather blood pressure data from blood vessels, monitoring the response with ultrasound. The new technique, called resonance sonomanometry, holds the promise to ...

Systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures (MAP) are the 3 BP values typically reported; to interpret a BP reading, all 3 must be evaluated. Systolic and diastolic BP are the pressures at the ...
