Invasive monitoring during HILP

Hemodynamic changes during melphalan hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) as a treatment for unresectable melanoma pose a risk to patients with cardiac compromise, and justify establishing a standard scheme of monitoring, blood testing, and record keeping.

Scope

BMC Anesthesiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of anesthesiology, critical care, perioperative care and pain management, including clinical and experimental research into anesthetic mechanisms, administration and efficacy, technology and monitoring, and associated economic issues.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
