Conventional clinical methods give qualitative information about left ventricular function in the critically ill patient. However, the information gathered from the physical examination and noninvasive methods is subject to important pitfalls with respect to both its nonspecificity and interobserver variability. The advent of hemodynamic monitoring has highlighted these difficulties and provided more quantitative information that is relevant in both diagnosis and treatment of the critically ill patient.
传统临床方法可提供危重症患者左心室功能的定性信息。然而，通过体格检查和非侵入性方法收集的信息，在非特异性和观察者间变异性方面存在重大缺陷。血流动力学监测的出现凸显了这些困难，并提供了更多与危重症患者诊断和治疗相关的定量信息。
