Why we believe in a tailored monitoring approach

As much as patients differ from each other, monitoring needs can also vary from patient to patient. Therefore, a customized approach to intraoperative fluid management should be applied to control, track, and observe hemodynamics in a broad range of surgical patients.[1]

In an aging population with increased comorbidity, hemodynamic monitoring has become even more critical today to optimize perioperative fluid management.[1] Close monitoring of hemodynamics during anesthetic induction, surgery and postoperatively is proven to prevent adverse outcomes.[2]

Studies confirm: improved outcomes through intraoperative fluid management

Numerous studies document that intraoperative individual goal-directed fluid therapy improves outcomes after surgery and has a beneficial input on hospital costs.[2],[4],[5] Additionally, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols recommend individualized intraoperative fluid optimization through hemodynamic monitoring.[6]

A lack of perioperative management among high-and medium-risk surgical patients not only demonstrates the potential to cause cardiovascular complications but also can increase the risk of developing neurological complications, kidney damage, and even mortality. [1],[2],[3]

Yet even basic interventions in healthy patients carry the risk of complications such as hypotension. One of the most important vital signs of patients, the blood pressure, should also be continuously monitored as an indicator of the patient’s condition.[7],[8]
