Abstract
Goal-directed hemodynamic therapy is becoming increasingly more interesting for anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians. Meta-analyses of studies evaluating perioperative therapy algorithms demonstrated a reduction of postoperative morbidity compared to the previous clinical practices. In this review article the basic concepts of goal-directed hemodynamic therapy and the principles of previously employed therapy algorithms are described and discussed. Furthermore, the questions of how these therapy strategies can be transferred into daily clinical practice and whether these therapeutic approaches might even bear risks for patients are elucidated.
