QUIZ #1 – APM

Hemodynamic monitoring in high-risk surgery

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Hemodynamic therapy based on dynamic preload indices (like SVV, PPV) and cardiac output has been shown to improve outcomes in high-risk surgical ICU patients (Reference: Dave C, Shen J, Chaudhuri D, Herritt B, Fernando SM, Reardon PM, Tanuseputro P, Thavorn K, Neilipovitz D, Rosenberg E, Kubelik D, Kyeremanteng K. Dynamic Assessment of Fluid Responsiveness in Surgical ICU Patients Through Stroke Volume Variation is Associated With Decreased Length of Stay and Costs: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Relying on static measures like CVP or fixed protocols is outdated and less effective.
