ReviewJournal of clinical monitoring and computing end of year summary 2018: hemodynamic monitoring and management.
Hemodynamic management is a mainstay of patient care in the operating room and intensive care unit (ICU). In order to optimize patient treatment, researchers investigate monitoring technologies, cardiovascular (patho-) physiology, and hemodynamic treatment strategies. The Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing (JCMC) is a well-established and recognized platform for publishing research in this field. In this review, we highlight recent advancements and summarize selected papers published in the JCMC in 2018 related to hemodynamic monitoring and management.

Measurement of blood-oxygen saturation using a photoacoustic technique in the rabbit hypoxemia model.
The golden standard method to obtain accurate blood oxygen saturation is blood gas analysis that needs invasive procedure of blood sampling. Photoacoustic technique enables us to measure real-time blood oxygen saturation without invasive procedure. The aim of this study is to use the photoacoustic technique, an optical method, for accurately determining oxygen saturation in vivo. ⋯ The oxygen saturation calculated using calibration curves 1 and 2 showed strong correlations with the reference standard in regression analysis (R = 0.965, 0.964, respectively). The Bland-Altman analysis revealed better agreement and precision with calibration curve 2, whereas there was significant underestimation of values obtained using calibration curve 1. Photoacoustic measurement of oxygen saturation using calibration curve 2 provided an accurate estimate of oxygen saturation, which was similar to that obtained using a portable blood-gas analyzer.

Clinical monitoring and technology are at the heart of anesthesiology, and new technological developments will help to define how anesthesiology will evolve as a profession. Anesthesia related research published in the JCMC in 2018 mainly pertained to ICU sedation with inhaled agents, anesthesia workstation technology, and monitoring of different aspects of depth of anesthesia.
