Searching for an ideal hemodynamic marker to predict short-term outcome in cardiogenic shock.

abstract：:Fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of intensive care unit patient care, but prediction of the cardiovascular response remains difficult, despite many efforts in clinical research. The concept of responders and nonresponders illustrates such a difficulty. Many techniques have been tested, from strictly non-invasive t...
