Key result
New critical care technologies, including noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring and point-of-care testing, are increasingly utilized outside the intensive care unit to improve early recognition and treatment of critically ill patients.
This review highlights the potential benefits of utilizing new critical care technologies outside the traditional intensive care unit setting.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet change ward monitoring practices; leaves open the need for outcome trials on these technologies.
The delivery of critical care is no longer limited to the intensive care unit. The information gained by utilization of new technologies has proven beneficial in some populations. Research into earlier and more widespread use of these modalities may prove to be of even greater benefit to critically ill patients.

Otero et al. (2005) conducted a review in Critical illness. New critical care technologies (hemodynamic monitoring, point-of-care testing, NPPV) was evaluated. New critical care technologies, including noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring and point-of-care testing, are increasingly utilized outside the intensive care unit to improve early recognition and treatment of critically ill patients.
