The goal of hemodynamic monitoring is to assess the cardiovascular state of the patient, define their reserve and monitor response to treatments and time. Resuscitation efforts are essentially aimed at restoring and sustaining tissue wellness through maintaining an adequate amount of oxygenated blood flow to the metabolically active tissues. We need to monitor pressure, flow and function. To accomplish these goals one must be able to measure arterial pressure and all its components (i.e. waveforms), cardiac output and stroke volume as well as the adequacy of flow. Presently, there are several devices that can estimate the arterial pressure waveform from a finger plethysmographic device. They are very accurate until profound circulatory collapse makes peripheral pulse not representative of central pressures. These devices can also estimate stroke volume by intuiting the arterial pressure waveform in a fashion similar to that performed by the numerous minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring devices we now have now. These non-invasive devices can quantify functional hemodynamic monitoring dynamic parameters. Also, pulse oximeter pleth density signals vary with pulse volume into the finger or skin and the pleth variability can also be used as a surrogate of pulse pressure variation. Furthermore, bioreactance can measure both cardiac output and intrathoracic fluid content through surface electrodes. Finally, end-tidal CO2 transiently varies with venous return, increasing if blood flow increases. So both eh bioreactance device and end-tidal CO2 can be used to identify cardiac output changes in response to a passive leg raising maneuver. Thus, one can measure arterial pressure waveforms and cardiac output continuously, assess volume responsiveness and monitor therapy. Finally, the dynamic changes in tissue O2 saturation (StO2) measured by near infrared spectroscopy of the thenar eminence during a vascular occlusion test defines peripheral circulatory insufficiency and local blood flow independent of arterial pressure. Furthermore, heart rate variability decreases with increasing cardiovascular stress and can be readily measured in real time from the R-R intervals of the surface ECG signal. Finally, the measure of urine output, skin temperature and sensorium all define effective tissue blood flow as reasonable end-points to resuscitation, if the patient is not overwhelmingly ill. When these measures are coupled to a treatment approach know to improve outcome, there is little reason to believe that such completely non-invasive approaches will be inferior to invasive ones in the management of the critically ill patient.

Utilizing Noninvasive Blood Flow Velocity Measurements for Cardiovascular Phe...InsideScientific
Dr. Anilkumar Reddy of the Baylor College of Medicine presents data from his research outlining the importance of blood flow velocity measurement and shows examples of translational data. He provides an overview of Doppler flow velocity measurement technology and compares data obtained from complimentary devices such as 3D echo ultrasound and transit-time flow systems. Several models are presented showing how many selected measurements scale up in translational research from mice to mammals.
During this presentation the audience learned how Flow Velocity measurements can reliably assess the following parameters in rodents:
Systolic and diastolic cardiac function
Myocardial perfusion & coronary reserve
Pressure overload
Aortic stiffness
Peripheral perfusion
Assessment of haemodynamics a critically ill patient and its management has always been a matter if debate. Over time a lot of studies and therapeutic interventions have been carried out. This presentation is a review of such interventions and their impact on the outcome.
A Noninvasive Alternative to +dP/dtmax: Peak Aortic Blood AccelerationInsideScientific
During this webinar, sponsored by Indus Instruments, Dr. Anilkumar Reddy of the Baylor College of Medicine shows how peak acceleration of blood flow velocity in the ascending aorta can be used as a surrogate, noninvasive measurement to evaluate cardiac contractility. Importantly, this technique enables serial measurements in the same animal, leading to reduced animal-to-animal variability, fewer subjects and shorter data collection times.
Specifically, Dr. Reddy presents preliminary findings from his validation studies in mice, where peak aortic acceleration and peak +dP/dt were compared. He highlights the utility of the Doppler method showing how measurements of mitral inflow and myocardial perfusion capacity through coronary flow reserve can be used to noninvasively assess diastolic function. Furthermore, he presents specific examples of noninvasive cardiac measurements and discuss how they scale in translational research from mice to mammals.
Key topics covered during this webinar included:
- Evaluating cardiac contractility using peak aortic acceleration
- Investigating cardiac relaxation using mitral peak early velocity to peak atrial velocity ratio
- Interpreting myocardial perfusion capacity through coronary flow reserve at baseline and with disease or other conditions
- How Doppler Flow Velocity measurements can be used in translational research from mice to mammals

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

63. Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring:
Impedance Cardiography (ICG)
• 4 dual sensors with 8 lead wires
placed on neck and chest
• Current transmitted by outer
electrodes and seeks path of least
resistance: blood filled aorta
• Baseline impedance (resistance) is
measured using inner electrodes
• With each heartbeat, blood volume
and velocity in the aorta change
• Corresponding change in impedance
is measured
• Baseline and changes in impedance
are used to measure and calculate
hemodynamic parameters

73. Bioimpedance and Bioreactance
Estimates of Cardiac Output:
Bottom Line
• FDA-approved to assess cardiac function
• Useful in many environments
– Outpatient
• Cardiovascular status
• Heart failure screening
• Bioimpedance: Inaccurate in acute care conditions
• Bio-reactance: Accurate and useful to guide therapy
– In patient
• ED, OR, ICU
• Reduced excess fluid infusion in non-responders
