TL;DR: This article reviews this clinical standard, along with current alternatives also based on the indicator-dilution technique, such as the transcardiopulmonary thermodilution and lithium dilution techniques, and outlines the limitations of each application of indicator dilution.

TL;DR: This review paper provides an overview of the components of an effective perioperative fluid administration plan and address both the physiologic principles and outcomes of fluid administration.

TL;DR: The advantages and limits of using continuous, real-time, minimally or totally non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring techniques with an emphasis on their respective place in the hemodynamic management of critically ill patients with hemodynamic instability are discussed.

TL;DR: This multi-center study demonstrates that hemodynamic goal-directed therapy using pulse pressure variation, cardiac index trending and mean arterial pressure as the key parameters leads to a decrease in postoperative complications in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

TL;DR: Early goal-directed hemodynamic therapy based on cardiac index, stroke volume variation, and optimized global end-diastolic volume index reduces complications and length of ICU stay after cardiac surgery.
