Non invasive assessment of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure using echocardiog...
Marcelino, Paulo; Lopes, Mário GPulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Pw) is an important hemodynamic parameter frequently used in Intensive Care. Much effort was taken by investigators to noninvasively obtain this parameter particularly using echocardiography. The authors reviewed the published works in this field. There are a great number of correlations between echocardiographic variables and Pw, including equations for its precise assessmen...
Transthoracic echocardiography for evaluation of hypotensive critically ill pat...
Marcelino, Paulo; Marum, Susan; Fernandes, Ana Paula; Lopes, Mário Ga prospective study to determine the value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in assessing hypotensive patients in a medical/surgical Intensive care Unit (ICU).a 16-bed medical/surgical ICU.patients with hypotension were studied (systolic arterial pressure < 90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure < 60 mmHg, non responsive to fluid therapy in a 30-minute period). TTE was aimed to: exclude severe cardiac dysfunct...

Marcelino, Paulo; Germano, Nuno; Marum, Susan; Fernandes, Ana Paula; Ribeiro, Palmeiro; Lopes, Mário GTo compare the haemodynamic measurements of cardiac output (CO), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Pw) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), obtained by Swan-Ganz catheter and transthoracic echocardiography.Prospective study in a Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A total of 41 post liver transplant patients were enrolled. CO, CVP, Pw and PASP, were simultaneou...
