The four pillars of Personalized Physiological Medicine required for tailor-made therapy of the individual critically ill patient are envisaged as consisting of: 1) assessment of the frailty, fitness and physiological reserve of the patient, 2) the continuous and quantitative functional assessment of the various organ systems, 3) the assessment of the coherence and physiological regulation of the different components of the cardiovascular systems from the systemic to the microcirculation to the cellular and subcellular functional structures that defines homeostasis (6) and finally, 4) an integration and feedback (7) of the defining physiological variables to drive therapy and provide clinical control of the patient.
