We showed that in a toxicological application, metabolic monitoring yields quantitative, online information on cell viability, which complements and supports other methods such as microscopy.
If reliable, they may bring further opportunities such as remote metabolic monitoring in patients with chronic disease.
A clinically favorable conclusion is that emerging decreases in renal function can be detected readily with regular metabolic monitoring, and probably modified by timely interventions that include an increasing number of apparently effective treatment options to lithium.
We suggest that tissue hypoperfusion occurs even during a modest increase in IAP, and intramuscular metabolic monitoring could therefore serve as an early warning sign of deteriorating tissue perfusion.
Though recently challenged with regard to an approach originally promoted by Rivers et al. [5] for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, goal-directed strategies of hemodynamic management based on parameters of extended hemodynamic and metabolic monitoring are increasingly recommended in different national and international guidelines, in particular for peri- and postoperative care [6 10].
Metabolic monitoring among patients using second generation antipsychotics (SGAs)—a risk factor for metabolic syndrome has been shown to be inadequate despite the release of several guidelines.
The high prevalence of metabolic syndrome seen in patients with serious mental illness, especially those taking second generation antipsychotics, has led to the development of several expert guidelines recommending routine metabolic monitoring in patients using antipsychotics [9], [10] and those with schizophrenia [29].
Metabolic monitoring could be beneficial for the evaluation of resuscitation efficiency.
A nurse – run metabolic monitoring programme has proved to be successful in the United States [ 32].
Theoretically, CRRT might also influence metabolic monitoring by inducing extracorporeal loss or gain of CO2.
The metabolic tolerance is good, but continuous vigilance and strict metabolic monitoring remains warranted.
