    Abstract : The sepsis syndrome is present in ¼ to ⅓ of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide.

    Abstract : The ABC of acute care is to maintain Airway, Breathing and Circulation or oxygen delivery, which depends on the product of cardiac output (CO) and oxygenation. Thus knowledge of how different modes of mechanical ventilation affect central haemodynamics is essential. READ MORE
