[Effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration on the plasma level of cytokines in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome].
To investigate the effect of CVVH on the plasma levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8 in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). ⋯ CVVH can remove some cytokines in plasma, reduce APACHEII score and improve hemodynamics and oxygenation in MODS. Moreover, higher volume hemofiltration has better effect on the elimination of cytokines and can further improve the prognosis of MODS.

[Assessment of stroke volume variation and intrathoracic blood volume index on the responsiveness to volume loading in mechanically ventilated canine with hemorrhagic shock].
To assess the significance of stroke volume variation (SVV) and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBI) on the responsiveness to volume loading in mechanically ventilated canine with hemorrhagic shock. ⋯ SVV and ITBI were more useful indicators than CVP and PAWP on the assessment of responsiveness to volume loading. SVV as a functional preload parameter and for on-line monitoring may help to improve the hemodynamic management.
