Linsuffisance cardiaque aiguë = Acute heart failure

Acute heart failure is one of the oldest described medical conditions. However, although its clinical symptomatology is fairly obvious and known to everyone: dyspnea, liver pain, crackles on auscultation, the epidemiology has only been explored for very recent years. In all of the cardiology and resuscitation books of the past 40 years, acute heart failure has been considered a catch-all ranging from acute simple lung edema in hypertensive crisis to cardiogenic shock following heart attack. myocardium. It was all called "acute heart failure." This book is based on the recent Recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine which advocate the designation "Acute heart failure syndrome" in which the decompensation of heart failure chronic, hypertensive surge, cardiogenic shock, right heart failure, and high output heart failure are separate entities.

Les techniques de monitorage hémodynamique en réanimation = Hemodynamic monitoring techniques in intensive care

The hemodynamic monitoring of intensive care patients is undergoing major changes. Technological advances such as computerization and miniaturization have made it possible to considerably expand the range of assessment tools available at the bedside. Thus, the approach to cardiovascular monitoring - which was once readily "invasive" and global - is gradually becoming non-invasive and locoregional or even tissue. At the same time, the combined evolution of technology and physiological and pathophysiological concepts now provides the clinician with access to a variety of "functional hemodynamic monitoring". The aim of this book is to provide a better understanding of the interest and the limits of the hemodynamic parameters accessible by current hemodynamic monitoring techniques. It thus aims to ensure that the use of these techniques is perfectly mastered by resuscitators and anesthetists-resuscitators so that patient care is ultimately optimal.
