Hemodynamics in patients with shock are often complex and can change rapidly as the course of disease evolves and as therapies are initiated. Close monitoring of patients with shock is clearly important, but precisely how to do this remains a subject of great controversy. Years ago, invasive hemodynamic monitoring was common and even routine in some settings, but over time less invasive options have evolved. It remains uncertain whether something has been lost in this shift.
