Abstract
Monitoring is rather a general term which defines the set of techniques used to analyze, check, and monitor the quality of a recording in electronics, or the pathophysiologic reactions of a patient in medicine [1]. The definition of monitoring does not necessarily imply the notion of continuity. Applied to hemodynamics, monitoring records the main parameters of cardiac function, such as cardiac output, right and left filling pressures, contractility of the left ventricle, and systolic function of the right ventricle. Hemodynamic monitoring can be used to check filling requirements and also to assess how cardiovascular function impacts on metabolism, by determining venous oxygen saturation, lactate, and base deficit.
