Clinical Assessment of Volume Status with Dr. Cavallazzi

Dr. Rodrigo Cavallazzi covers the assessment of volume responsiveness including the static exam as well as dynamic markers to aid with treatment of shock without administration of excessive fluids. He spends some time on shock definition and physiologic compensation before discussing physical exam and laboratory findings consistent with tissue ischemia. Then, he delves into methods of determining pre-load responsiveness.   Some items in this lecture may have come from the lecturer’s personal academic files or have been cited in-line or at the end of the lecture.
