The discussion of neurocritical care management in post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) has generally focused on target values used for targeted temperature management (TTM).
The pathogenesis of septic myocardial depression is complicated.
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been suggested to be one of the main reasons
for the reduced cardiac function.
Septic cardiomyopathy is a common finding in septic shock patients. The accepted definition of septic cardiomyopathy is often based on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The aim of this study was to determine whether the left ventricular longitudinal systolic function was more sensitive than the LVEF in heart function appraisal of septic shock patients.
To evaluate the relationships between the changes in stroke volume index (SVI),
measured in both the aorta and the pulmonary artery, and the changes in intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI), as well as the relationship between changes in aortic SVI and changes in the pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP).
The aim of this study was to assess whether ther-
modilution-derived parameters of right and left ventricular car-diac function (right ventricular ejection fraction, global ejection fraction, cardiac function index) are able to track changes of cardiac contractile function and whether they are influenced by substantial preload reduction
