title: Principles of pharmacologic hemodynamic management and closed-loop systems.
abstract: Every day, physicians in critical-care settings are challenged with the hemodynamic management of patients with severe cardiovascular derangements. There is a potential role for closed-loop (automated) systems to assist clinicians in managing these patients and growing interest in the possible applications. In this review, we discuss the basic principles of critical-care hemodynamic management and the closed-loop systems that have been developed to help in this setting.
