Abstract
Hemodynamic monitoring is one of the important reasons for patients to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The first patients were monitored and treated on an ICU during the polio epidemic [1]. Since then major advances have been made in monitoring the critically ill patient, especially after the introduction of intravascular pressure- and flow-recording catheters in the 1970s [1], Nowadays, intensivists frequently use invasive hemodynamic monitoring, including intra-arterial, pulmonary artery, and central venous catheters to guide therapeutic interventions. Recent studies have directed the intensivist to the use of less-invasive modalities, because of the complications, such as thrombosis and catheter-related sepsis, which are related to the use of invasive techniques [2–5].
