To describe fetal cardiac and hemodynamic development in the first trimester of pregnancy.Forty-eight pregnancies were prospectively studied with transvaginal ultrasound color Doppler. Fetal heart rate size documented together presence inflow outflow wave-forms valve signals.Heart showed a positive correlation gestational age. At 6 weeks gestation, 20% cycle was occupied by isovolumic contraction time (ICT); relaxation (IRT) 16% remained unchanged, while ICT progressively shortened not...
Abstract Introduction The study of the diaphragm muscle has aroused interest physiotherapists who work with kinesiological ultrasonography, but still little explored; however, its findings can contribute to clinical practice hospitalized patients in neonatal intensive care units. Objective To measure excursion and thickening describe measurements among neonates, preterm, full-term. Methods Diaphragmatic ultrasonography was performed on newborns, Neonatal Unit Care Unit, placed supine...
The importance of extracardiac anomalies in 100 consecutive fetuses with congenital heart disease was evaluated. most common cardiac diagnoses were hypoplastic left syndrome 35% and atrioventricular canal defect 15%. Extracardiac present 42%, abnormal karyotype 19% intrauterine growth retardation 20%. There 45 survivors (35 required neonatal surgery, ten did not require early surgery) 80% (36/45) the had isolated disease. more frequently non‐survivors ( p < 0.001). Also, frequent 0.05).
We report two cases of localized left ventricular (LV) protrusion, an entity that has been described in the literature as aneurysm or diverticulum. Both had different outcomes from those previously reported. Little is known on incidence and natural history these rare anomalies, whose progression may be asymptomatic lead to severe complications death prenatal period. The therapeutic approach should customized.
OBJETIVO: Descrever a técnica de preparo e evolução ecocardiográfica das cúspides homoenxerto decelularizado utilizadas em pacientes com tetralogia Fallot. MÉTODOS: No período março 2005 agosto 2007, 15 foram submetidos ao implante deste tipo enxerto acompanhados clinicamente ecocardiograma para avaliar o resultado morfofuncional dos enxertos. RESULTADOS: O acompanhamento médio foi 12,7 meses (1-25 meses). A análise prazo revelou: insuficiência pulmonar leve nove (60%) pacientes, moderada...
Resumo Introdução O estudo do músculo diafragma tem des-pertado o interesse dos fisioterapeutas que trabalham com ultrassonografia cinesiológica. Ainda pouco explo-rado, contudo, seus achados podem contribuir para a prática clínica pacientes internados em unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal (UTIN). Objetivo Mensurar excursão e espessamento diafragmático descrever as medidas entre recém-nascidos prematuros termo. Métodos Realizou-se cinesiológica diafragmática UTIN, posicionados supino seu...
Abstract Introduction The manual rib cage stabilization maneu-ver (MRCSM) is a physical therapy intervention that promotes of the zone apposition diaphragm, facilitating contraction this muscle and work breathing. Objective To evaluate by diaphragm ultrasound diaphragmatic excursion in premature newborns before after MRCSM. Methods Before-after clinical trial assessing ultra-sound effectiveness MRCSM amplitude excursions. Results study sample consisted 48 born at mean gestational age 33.0 ±...
