In order to avoid microaspiration and tracheal injury, the target for endotracheal tube cuff pressure is 20 30 cm H2O.To assess effect of changes in body position on adult patients.Twelve orally intubated sedated patients received neuromuscular blockers were positioned a neutral starting (backrest, head-of-bed elevation 30º, head position) with at 25 H2O. Then, 16 performed: anteflexion head, hyperextension left right lateral flexion rotation semirecumbent (head-of-bed 45°), recumbent 10°),...
Summary This study was performed to determine whether preload‐adjusted peak power can act as a surrogate for maximal in the assessment of left ventricular performance clinical setting. Ninety‐nine consecutive patients who had undergone elective coronary artery bypass grafting were studied. Fifty‐five these divided into four groups. Afterload changed with phenylephrine ( n = 12) or glyceryl trinitrate 13), preload increased intravenous colloid 18), and contractility dobutamine 12). There...
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use a new coating, mimicking outer cell membrane, in paediatric cardiac surgery. Methods: Two groups ten patients with body weight below 8 kg, undergoing elective operations for different congenital anomalies, were prospectively enrolled study. In one group whole extracorporeal circuit, including cannulas, was coated phosphorylcholine (PC). second same circuit used without coating. Platelet activation (thromboxane B2 (TXB2),...
The adequate treatment of pain remains one the major medical challenges. Morphine and other opioid drugs are most commonly used to counteract moderate severe pain, but they also increasingly accessed by patients with chronic non-malignant pain. To achieve long-term analgesia, therapy still represents standard for alleviation. This work presents an overview current strategies aiming at controlled release. Two important, intrinsically linked, features discussed in detail: formulations (i.e....
AimThe second-generation cryoballoon (CB-Adv) is effective in achieving pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with encouraging results. In this study, we assessed the single-procedure outcome on a 1-year follow-up period large sample of patients having undergone PVI for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF) using CB-Adv.
The purpose of this study was to analyse the efficacy and complication rates simultaneous hybrid procedure in a series patients with persistent long-standing atrial fibrillation (AF) midterm follow-up. Sixty-four consecutive (56 males, 59.7 ± 8.7 years) having undergone isolation pulmonary veins (PVs) posterior wall left atrium (LA) by means thoracoscopic ablation for symptomatic (n = 21, 33%) AF 43, 67%) were analysed. At mean follow-up 23.1 14.1 months (median 21; range 6–57), success rate...
This study was undertaken in order to elucidate the differences between various planes of measurement and Doppler techniques (pulsed‐ vs. continuous‐wave Doppler) across aortic valve estimate cardiac output. In 45 coronary artery bypass patients, output measured each time using four different (transverse longitudinal plane, pulsed‐ compared with thermodilution technique. Measurements were performed after induction anaesthesia shortly arrival intensive care unit. Optimal imaging obtained 91%...
Background Propofol's unique pharmacokinetic profile offers advantages for titration and rapid emergence in patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but concern negative inotropic properties potentially limits its use these patients. The current study analyzed the effect of various propofol plasma concentrations on left ventricular (LV) contractility by means a single-beat contractile index based LV maximal power (PWR(max)). Methods was conducted 30 CABG surgery....
