Heart rate variability predicts 30-day all-cause mortality in intensive care units
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and AnalgesiaBackground: Autonomic nervous function, as quantified by heart rate variability (HRV), has shown promise in predicting clinically important outcomes in the critical care setting; however, there is debate concerning its utility. HRV analysis was assessed as a practical tool for... -
