A 23 year-old woman with chronic hypertension, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis with chronic renal insufficiency, and superimposed severe preeclampsia, required cesarean delivery. The patient's course was also complicated by severe hyperkalemia and hypermagnesemia. PulseCO pulse contour analysis of a directly measured radial artery pressure tracing, without lithium calibration, enabled her physicians to follow trends in cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance, facilitating and rationalizing her care. The limitations of pulse contour analysis are discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
