Effects of arterial load variations on dynamic arterial elastance: an experimental study
Conclusions. Acute modifications of arterial load induced significant changes on Eadyn; vasodilatation increased Eadyn, whereas vasoconstriction decreased it. The Eadyn was associated with both arterial load and cardiac factors, suggesting that Eadyn should be more properly considered as a ventriculo-arterial coupling index.

Routine use of viscoelastic blood tests for diagnosis and treatment of coagulopathic bleeding in cardiac surgery: updated systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractViscoelastic point-of-care tests are commonly used to provide prompt diagnosis of coagulopathy and allow targeted treatments in bleeding patients. We updated existing meta-analyses that have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of viscoelastic point-of-care testsvs the current standard of care for the management of cardiac surgery patients at risk of coagulopathic bleeding. Randomized controlled trials comparing viscoelastic point-of-care diagnostic testing with standard care in cardiac surgery patients were sought. All-cause mortality, blood loss, reoperation, blood transfusion, major morbidity, and intensive care...
