Hemodynamic monitoring is important for critically ill patients in emergency medicine. While the conventional static hemodynamic monitoring may not accurately reflect the hemodynamic status, functional hemodynamic monitoring can dynamicly and individually monitor the hemodynamic status, and thus becomes a valuable supplementation for conventional static hemodynamic monitoring. This article reviews the limitations of conventional hemodynamic monitoring and introduces the methodology of functional hemodynamic monitoring.
