Outcomes in the management of critically ill patients may be improved using goal-directed peri-operative haemodynamic monitoring. A conservative approach may no longer be acceptable but in view of the significant morbidity associated with balloon tipped flow directed pulmonary artery catheters a non-invasive approach would be preferable. In this review we consider the different non-invasive techniques available and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

    Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is a non invasive method enabling the monitoring of microvascular blood flow, a very important marker of tissue health. This article gives an overview on the concept of LDF for microvascular perfusion monitoring and imaging. It first describes the theoretical background...
