Abstract

Detailed evaluation of cardiovascular function by hemodynamic "profiling" during donor care may be necessary to select appropriate treatment for hypotension. Preload, systemic vascular resistance, heart rate, and contractility are all determinants of cardiac output and blood pressure. This review discusses the measurement, physiological limitations, and pharmacological manipulation of those variables during care of selected donors.
