Prediction of fluid responsiveness in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients ventilated with low tidal volume and high positive end-expiratory pressure.

29 Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: Dynamic preload indicators with pulse pressure variation and stroke volume variation are superior to static indicators for predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. However, they are influenced by tidal volume ... Read more...

Feasibility of using bevacizumab with radiation therapy and temozolomide in newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.

29 Sep 2008 INTRODUCTION: Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has shown promise in the treatment of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of using ... Read more...

A rational approach to perioperative fluid management.

29 Sep 2008 Replacement of assumed preoperative deficits, in addition to generous substitution of an unsubstantiated increased insensible perspiration and third space loss, plays an important role in current perioperative fluid regimens. The consequence is a ... Read more...
