(1/6) ππ‘οΈ Sepsis challenges clinicians worldwide.
Central to its treatment is an interesting (and at times heated!) debate: 'pressure' vs. 'flow'.
Both are key to understanding sepsis' macrocirculatory dysfunction, but what is more important?

(2/6) π Historically, we've leaned on metrics like MAP (mean arterial pressure).
However, numerous studies have shown there is no βperfect' MAP, sparking debates about personalizing treatment.
Is it that MAP should be optimized for each patient (and there is no one MAP fits all?), or is it that MAP is only one, incomplete, part of the hemodynamic puzzle? π§©

(3/6)β€οΈπ Consider cardiogenic shock: patients might show normal BP, but with severely reduced cardiac output (and resulting organ dysfunction).
As our cardiac output drops, our body vasoconstricts, which increases BP, at the expense of perfusion.
So how do we move beyond pressure and focus on flow?

(4/6) π§π Measuring flow isn't easy.
Current methods are often invasive, cumbersome, and not universally accessible.
This led our team to develop FloPatch.
FloPatch is the worldβs first wireless, wearable Doppler ultrasound that delivers real-time hemodynamic data at the bedside.
Its intuitive design seamlessly integrates into existing workflows, enabling healthcare providers to deliver personalized fluid therapy with unmatched confidence, ease, and efficiency.
So how exactly do you use FloPatch at the bedside?

(5/6) π We employ an integrated, two-step approach:
1) Achieve an adequate, individualized MAP.
2) Donβt stop there, quantify, and optimize flow.
FloPatch ensures that the interventions you implement (vasopressors, IV fluids), donβt improve BP at the expense of flow.

(6/6) π€ Letβs move beyond the pressure vs. flow debate.
With innovations like FloPatch, precision fluid management is no longer a compromise.
It's time to embrace a new standard of evidence-based, individualized sepsis care.
Why choose one when you can have clarity and confidence in both?
