Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Estimated Plasma Volume Status
2022 17 Feb
An overview of estimated plasma volume (ePVS), recent evidence supporting the association of ePVS with clinical congestion and whether it can help improve outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Plasma volume (PV) is the level of intravascular fluid minus the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. PV in heart failure (HF) patients... Read more
The Importance of Accurate Glucose Monitoring in Critically Ill Patients

If It’s Good for Calcium Why Not Magnesium? Reasons to Measure iMg in the ICU
2021 19 Apr
An overview of the importance of getting magnesium levels right in critically ill patients and the role ionised magnesium plays. Background Like all electrolytes, magnesium exists in the bloodstream in “bound” states, and in “free” or “ionised” states, which is the portion that is physiologically active. This ionised component... Read more
