Hemodynamic applications of capnography
Article Abstract:
This article examines the hemodynamic applications of exhaled carbon dioxide pressure measurments obtained through capnography. Capnography can enhance hemodynamic assessments by providing information on pulmonary perfusion, alveolar deadspace, end-expiration during blood pressure measurements, and the physiological consequences of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Controversies in the use of the pulmonary artery catheter
Article Abstract:
This article provides an overview of current research and practice guidelines related to the use of pulmonary artery catheters in hemodynamic analysis. Pulmonary artery catheters provide detailed hemodynamic information but pose a health risk to patients and involve high equipment costs without clear data supporting improved patient outcomes.

New technologies in the assessment of hemodynamic parameters
Article Abstract:
This article examines the limitations and benefits of new technologies used in hemodynamic analysis. Cardiac monitoring using esophageal Doppler, exhaled carbon dioxide measures, and new features added to pulmonary artery catheters provide more accurate and efficient ways to assess hemodynamic profiles.
