Key result
Nonsurviving critically ill surgical patients exhibited reduced myocardial performance, reduced pulmonary function, and decreased oxygen delivery compared to survivors.
Why the study?
What are the differences in hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns between surviving and nonsurviving critically ill postoperative patients?

May warrant advanced hemodynamic monitoring beyond vital signs in surgical ICU patients; leaves open whether optimizing oxygen delivery improves survival.
Observational (n=220)
What are the differences in hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns between surviving and nonsurviving critically ill postoperative patients?
Critically ill postoperative nonsurvivors demonstrate significant hemodynamic and oxygen transport derangements that are not reflected by standard vital signs.
Bland et al. (1985) conducted an observational in Critically ill surgical patients (n=220). Nonsurvival vs. Survival was evaluated on Hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns. Nonsurviving critically ill surgical patients exhibited reduced myocardial performance, reduced pulmonary function, and decreased oxygen delivery compared to survivors.
