Transesophageal echocardiography in perioperative period guiding the decision making during hemodynamic instability due to atrial fibrillation

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 69 (1), 2019
Abstract Background and objective: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, which may occur during the perioperative period and lead to hemodynamic instability due to loss of atrial systolic function. During atrial fibrillation management, electrical cardioversion is one of the therape...

Sympathetic activity is negatively associated to uremic state and hemodynamic instability during hemodialysis sessions

INTRODUCTION: Hemodynamic instabilities, characterized by oscillations of blood pressure, are common during hemodialysis sessions (HD), culminating in intradialytic hypotension owing to volume withdrawal from the cardiovascular system. The ability to carry out immediate adjusts in cardiovascular system, ...
