Hemodynamic Complications

This retrospective single-center observational study aims to evaluate the association between a history of cardiovascular disease and the occurrence of severe hemodynamic complications within 30 minutes after intubation in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Cardiovascular history includes ischemic, arrhythmic, dilated or valvular heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and systemic hypertension. Severe hemodynamic complications include severe hypotension, initiation or increase of norepinephrine, fluid resuscitation for hemodynamic instability, or cardiac arrest.
