[fluid resuscitation: pulmonary artery occlusion pressure/central venous pressure of >12 mm Hg, stroke volume variation <12% in ventilated patients]; optimization of cardiac index [>2.6 L/min/m2]; hemodynamic optimization [mean arterial pressure >65 mm Hg]; normalizing intra-abdominal pressure [<...
We cannot rule out that the veterans with head injuries carried a heavier medical burden in areas not addressed by our questions about stroke, heart disease, and substance abuse. It is also possible that some of the men with head injuries had a preexisting psychiatric disorder predisposing them...
