The airways and anaesthesia II. Pathophysiology.

abstract：:The LiDCO plus monitor (LiDCO Ltd, Cambridge, UK) uses pulse contour analysis of the arterial pressure waveform to indicate changes in stroke volume and cardiac output. Calibration against a lithium indicator dilution method is required to permit display of absolute values in addition to trends. The effect of haemodyn...

In some patients, an adequate intake is not maintained because patients cannot tolerate the tube. Insertion of an enteral feeding tube via a pharyngostomy is simple and potentially more easily tolerated. We describe o...
