Supports prophylactic digitalization to lower PCWP in impaired-LV vascular surgery patients; extends targeted haemodynamic data to this postoperative setting.
Does postoperative digitalization improve haemodynamic parameters in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing major vascular surgery?
Prophylactic postoperative digitalization improves haemodynamics by decreasing pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with impaired LV function undergoing major vascular surgery.
Bille‐Brahe et al. (1980) studied this question.
