Monitoring Tissue Perfusion in Shock

Shows the benefit of monitoring tissue oxygenation as a point-of-care test using noninvasive methods

Demonstrates how evaluation of regional tissue oxygenation at the bedside is feasible and reproducible

Represents an easy-to-use resource for the ICU team and other clinicians

Alexandre Augusto Pinto Lima obtained his medical degree from Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, in 1996. After an internship and residency in tropical infectious diseases and HIV medicine at Instituto de Infectologia Hospital Emilio Ribas, Universidade de São Paulo in 1999, he entered clinical training in clinical infectious diseases at the Division of Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Sírio Libanês, São Paulo. He then served as an assistant medical doctor in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Critical Care Medicine, Universidade de São Paulo, and the Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Hospital do Servidor Publico Estadual, São Paulo. Dr. Lima joined the circulation research group at Adult Intensive Care, Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam in 2005. There he gained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Jan Bakker. His field of study is hemodynamic circulation, with emphasis on optical methods for measuring tissue oxygenation.
