This study looked back at medical records of 18 intensive care patients who received hydroxocobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) for severe vasodilatory shock, a condition where blood vessels widen too much and blood pressure drops dangerously. The goal was to see if the treatment c…

This study tested whether ultrasound measurements of the heart and blood vessels can predict which mechanically ventilated children will benefit from extra fluids. Only about half of children with shock respond to fluids, and too much fluid can be harmful. The researchers used a …

This study looked at 45 women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia. Researchers compared a non-invasive monitor (using a patch on the chest) with an invasive monitor (using a tube in the wrist artery) to see if they gave similar readings of heart function. The goal w…

This study looked at 180 older adults (65+) having major abdominal cancer surgery to see if giving fluids based on real-time body signals (goal-directed fluid therapy) helps prevent short-term memory and thinking problems after surgery. Patients received either this personalized …

This study looked at 80 severely obese adults having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery). Researchers measured heart electrical activity and blood pressure as patients were moved into different positions during the operation. The goal was to understand how posit…
