Abstract

The number of devices available to monitor the haemodynamic status of patients is increasing. Practitioners need to be aware of the non-invasive and invasive methods available in order to care for their patients safely and effectively. This article reviews a number of noninvasive measurements of haemodynamic function, in addition to invasive methods such as arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. It is argued that using these methods in combination provides a comprehensive haemodynamic assessment.
