I liked the more indepth perspective with useful links for EBM buffs to dig even deeper.<BR/><BR/>The early goal directed therapy (EGDT) is a hometown paper done just down the road at Henry Ford Hospital. <BR/><BR/>It has been interesting to see the difference in care at various ICUs. In Chicago, the ICU regularly used SVO2 to monitor perfusion and used dobutamine in sepsis as done in the EGDT, here at St John's the intensivists are less focused on it and never use dobutamine outside of cardiogenic shock.Kidney_Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706593315253399631noreply@blogger.com
