Hemodynamic Monitoring Helps Surgery Patients

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 01 Mar 2006
Hemodynamic monitoring during and after surgery can result in a reduced post-operative hospital stay, faster patient recovery, and fewer side effects.

Hemodynamic monitoring of blood flow allows doctors to detect and deal with problems through accurate administration of fluid and drugs. More...
However, while the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, London) has ruled that such monitoring technology is considered a standard clinical practice, over
90% of UK hospital patients undergoing surgery are currently failing to benefit from this technology.

We welcome confirmation by NICE that improving patients' post-operative prospects with hemodynamic monitoring during surgery should indeed be standard practice for patients undergoing surgery but we bitterly regret that this just isn't being implemented in many UK hospitals at the moment, " said Professor Monty Mythen, professor of anesthesia and critical care at the University College of London (London, UK).

The statement was issued by Professor Mythen on behalf of the Improving Surgical Outcomes Group (ISOG), which aims to improve the understanding of interventions that can contribute to better patient outcomes and reduce the number and severity of complications following surgery.
