Abstract     Shock and shock related organ failure account for most deaths in surgical patients. Shock is easily recognized in the late stages, but therapy at this time is often ineffective. By contrast, shock in its early stages is easily treated, but because it is routinely recognized by inprecise signs and subjective simptoms, the underlying low flow, inadequate tissue perfusion and tissue hypoxia may remain unnoticed and untreat until organ failure appears. An appropriate basic assumption is that low flow, poor tissue perfusion and other circulatory dysfunctions can be recognized early by objective noninvasive criteria, and that more promptly delivered therapy might be more efficacious. Noninvasively monitored data may be used to titrate early fluid therapy to achieve optimal physiologic criteria to prevent development of lethal organ failures. We discuss thoracic electric bioimpendance, Fick method, transesophageal Doppler echocardiography, pulse contour analysis, gastric tonometry.
