How to evaluate the microcirculation: report of a round table conference (2007)
De Backer, Daniel, Hollenberg, Steven, Boerma, Christiaan, Goedhart, Peter, Büchele, Gustavo, Ospina-Tascon, Gustavo, ...
Abstract Introduction Microvascular alterations may play an important role in the development of organ failure in critically ill patients and especially in sepsis. Recent advances in technology have...

Can passive leg raising be used to guide fluid administration? (2006)
Abstract Predicting fluid responsiveness has become a topic of major interest. Measurements of intravascular pressures and volumes often fail to predict the response to fluids, even though very low...
Heenen, Sarah, De Backer, Daniel, Vincent, Jean-Louis
Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of different static and dynamic measurements of preload to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with spontaneous respiratory...
Optimal management of the high risk surgical patient: beta stimulation or beta blockade? (2005)
Abstract Several groups of investigators have shown that peri-operative goal directed therapy (GDT) may reduce mortality in high-risk surgical patients. GDT usually requires the use of...
Microvascular dysfunction as a cause of organ dysfunction in severe sepsis (2005)
Vincent, Jean-Louis, De Backer, Daniel
Abstract Reduced microvascular perfusion has been implicated in organ dysfunction and multiple organ failure associated with severe sepsis. The precise mechanisms underlying microvascular dysfunction...
The cuff-leak test: what are we measuring? (2004)
Abstract Stridor is one of the most frequent causes of early extubation failure. The cuff-leak test may help to identify patients at risk to develop post-extubation laryngeal edema. However the...

Abstract The organs of the hepatosplanchnic system are considered to play a key role in the development of multiorgan failure during septic shock. Impaired oxygenation of the intestinal mucosa can...
Perioperative optimization and right heart catheterization: what technique in which patient? (2003)
De Backer, Daniel, Creteur, Jacques, Vincent, Jean-Louis
Abstract Recent years have seen the place of the pulmonary artery catheter in intensive care increasingly challenged, with one recent study reporting no difference in outcome in patients treated with...
