    AbstractEchocardiography and Doppler provide intraoperative and immediate insight when a haemodynamic deterioration occurs. Both morphological and haemodynamic features can be diagnosed instantly. Furthermore, this tool is used as a functional haemodynamic monitoring device offering on line information on systolic function, preload and afterload. No clear data exist on improvement of outcome in noncardiac surgery, but analogy to cardiac patients suggest strongly outcome can be advanced with echo-Doppler.
