This paper reviews arterial pressure waveforms and contrasts the differences in waveforms imposed by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. It explores questions regarding blood pressure ...
What do the high and low numbers of blood pressure readings mean? How can I control or change them? Answer: We love this question, for two reasons: • One, your blood pressure is the second most ...
Can you recall a doctor’s appointment during which your blood pressure wasn’t taken? Probably not. It’s a vital sign—along ...
As fundamental as the issue is, there is no clear, high-level evidence to determine the most effective mean arterial pressure (MAP) for resuscitation of patients with septic shock. During hypotension, ...
The BMJ is an international peer reviewed medical journal and a fully "online first" publication. Our publishing model–"continuous publication"– means that all articles appear on bmj.com before being ...
Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can be dangerous as it impairs oxygen delivery to vital organs. When mean arterial ...

It is becoming increasingly apparent that men and women have significant differences in their physiology, and subsequent manifestation of disease phenotypes. At the same time, scientists increasingly ...
What Pressure Reference Point Should Be Used for Titration of Vasopressor and Vasodilator Drips? Balloon pumping every other heartbeat expands the arterial waveform to five reference points. The ...
