About this Research Topic
Perioperative hemodynamic monitoring techniques have made great strides in recent years due to the widespread use of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring tools such as critical care ultrasound. The advances in hemodynamic management allow clinicians to better monitor hemodynamic status, provide timely, targeted interventions, and ultimately improve patients’ outcomes. Performing hemodynamic monitoring in a standardized manner is a common but important topic for anaesthesiologists, intensivists, and other critical care medical providers. Furthermore, the concepts of resuscitation have changed and moved from a cardiac output-centered approach to a perfusion-driven strategy.
In this Research Topic, we invite clinicians and researchers globally to contribute their latest discoveries and reflections to help advance our understanding of the core issues of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring. We hope to take this opportunity to introduce the latest advances in perioperative hemodynamic monitoring in recent years and better inform the clinical practice.
This Research Topic will focus on the core issues of perioperative hemodynamic monitoring, including fluid responsiveness, vasoactive medication usage, application of non-invasive and invasive hemodynamic monitoring tools, cardiac output monitoring, microcirculatory monitoring, and extracorporeal circulation support. We also focus on perioperative hemodynamic-related complications and their management. Our Research Topic also welcomes topics such as early recognition and resuscitation of shock, perioperative fluid management, and innovative approaches of hemodynamic mentoring and interventions.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, and Mini-review, in the subtopics of, but not limited to, the following:
• Fluid responsiveness
• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
• Vasoactive medicine usage
• Cardiac output monitoring
• Microcirculatory evaluation
• Perioperative complications related to hemodynamics
• Early identification and management of shock
Keywords: Invasive and non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring, Tissue perfusion, Fluid responsiveness, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Microcirculation
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
