Influence of echinocandin administration on hemodynamic parameters in medical intensive care unit patients: a single center prospective study

Conclusion To conclude, adminstration of echinocandins in this observed study population is safe, even in severely critically ill patients if application rules of these agents are followed. However, adverse effects could be observed and practitioners should be cognizant of these effects. These observations can be optimized by high-level assessments, such as the pulse contour cardiac output monitoring, and clinicians should continue to be vigilant with cardiac monitoring of patients receiving echinocandin antifungals.
