This document represents the first update of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anaesthesia Fellowship Curriculum European Association Anaesthesiology Intensive Care. After obtaining feedback from exit interviews with fellows in training, graduate fellows, program directors, 2 modified online Delphi procedures questionnaires were conducted. A consensus was reached when two-thirds responding committee members gave green or yellow ratings on a traffic light system, >70% indicated strong agreement...
Lung transplantation (LTx) is a challenging procedure. Following the process of ischemia-reperfusion injury, transplanted pulmonary graft might become severely damaged, resulting in primary dysfunction. In addition, during intraoperative window, right ventricle (RV) at risk acute failure. The interaction ventricular function with lung injury is, however, poorly understood. We aimed to address this translational porcine model injury. Advanced and hemodynamic assessment was used, including...
We present the case of a 78-year-old female undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) because suspected chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH). During surgery firm black masses were encountered in aortopulmonary window and on cranial part right artery (PA). After PA arteriotomy we visualized intraluminal stenosing plaques at orifices three left lingular lower lobar branches. Since no dissection plane could be obtained procedure was discontinued. Subsequent bronchoscopy submucosal dark...
Early outcome after lung transplantation (LTx) can be hampered by primary graft dysfunction, which depends on severity of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The exact interaction between right ventricle (RV) function and IRI is unknown. We hypothesize that this influences LTx outcome. In a porcine model we aimed to determine the impact RV severity. left (LL) hilum was clamped (3h warm ischemia) reperfused (3h) in situ ([CLA]n=9). During hour 6 contralateral (RL) force cardiac output (CO)...
