Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Hemodynamics

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hemodynamics refers to the study and monitoring of blood flow and circulation in critically ill patients. In the ICU, healthcare professionals assess how well the heart pumps blood and how well oxygen and nutrients are delivered to vital organs. This involves measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and other indicators to ensure the body is functioning properly. By understanding these parameters, doctors can make informed decisions about treatment, adjust medications, and support patients in recovering from severe illnesses or injuries. Effective hemodynamic management is crucial for patient survival and recovery in critical care settings.
