Diagnostic and prognostic value of presepsin in the management of sepsis in the emergency department: a multicenter prospective study.

abstract：:Heart rate variability in the frequency domain can now be obtained at the bedside in the ICU. Promising data suggest that it may help to characterize a patient response to a spontaneous breathing trial. Refinement of the analysis could even help to predict the outcome of extubation or at least help to detect early pat...
