Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy in the high-risk patient

The long case — the goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (the GDT) targeting the cardiac index and the DO2. The Fick and the DO2 equations; the arterial-line and the cardiac-output monitoring; the fluid, the inotrope, and the transfusion to optimise the CO, the Hb, and the SaO2; the individualised targets.
