The prognosis in hypothermic cardiac arrest is frequently good despite prolonged period of hypoperfusion and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Apart from protective effect hypothermia itself established protocols treatment novel rewarming techniques may influence on outcome. purpose the study was to assess outcome patients with circulatory treated by means arterio-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) according locally elaborated protocol Severe Accidental Hypothermia Center Cracow,...

We sought to organize a functional system of recognition and advanced treatment hypothermic patients with extracorporeal rewarming as option. All suspected hypothermia are consulted the coordinator (HC), whose role is provide expertise on all rescue medical services. Patients Swiss staging class III IV subjected rewarming. I II managed in local hospitals, after HC provides instructions. From program initiation (July 29, 2013) November 1, 2015, 104 patients; 21 were John Paul Hospital Cracow,...
In patients at urgent need for cardiac surgery coexisting with increased-stroke-risk carotid stenosis, any staged intervention increases the risk of complications from primarily unaddressed pathology. this challenging cohort, we assessed safety and feasibility endovascular revascularization under open-chest extracorporeal circulation (ECC) combined (hybrid-room true simultaneous treatment).
Recently, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has become the rewarming treatment of choice in hypothermic cardiac arrest. The detailed indications for non-arrested, severely patients with circulatory instability have not been established yet. primary purpose study was a preliminary analysis all aspects process, as well initial identification mortality risk factors within group patients, treated arteriovenous (VA-ECMO). secondary aim to evaluate efficacy VA-ECMO 6-h...
Severe accidental hypothermia can cause circulatory disturbances ranging from cardiac arrhythmias through shock to arrest. Severity of shock, pulmonary hypoperfusion and ventilation-perfusion mismatch are reflected by a discrepancy between measurements CO2 levels in end-tidal air (EtCO2) partial pressure arterial blood (PaCO2). This disparity pose problem the choice an optimal ventilation strategy for victims, particularly prehospital period. We hypothesized that severely hypothermic...
Background: There are a growing number of patients with end-stage coronary artery disease (CAD) and refractory angina. Angiogenesis may be induced by intramyocardial injection autologous bone marrow stem cells, intensified inflammationaround channels performed laser. Aim: To assess the effect combined treatment consisting transmyocardial laser revascularisation (TLMR) intramyocardialinjection bone-marrow derived cells (bone revascularisation, BMLR) in refractoryangina one year after...
The aim of the current study was to examine liposuction-induced metabolic changes with regard release major adipokines and insulin sensitivity in overweight male patients. Seventeen patients aged 37.15 ± 9.60 years (6 diabetes type 2, 11 without comorbidities) 10 age-matched healthy lean controls were enrolled study. Using Vibration Amplification Sound Energy at Resonance System, ultrasound assisted liposuction applied onto deep layers abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue. mean volume...
OBJECTIVESThe use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) grafting has been documented to be advantageous over left artery (LITA) grafting. It shown significantly improve clinical outcomes and increase long-term survival in patients with diabetes. However, harvesting BITAs may result a greater risk superficial wound infection (SWI) or deep sternal (DSWI) cardiovascular complications (major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events; MACCE) such patient group. The objective this study was...
The surgical stress response after laparoscopy is smaller when compared with open surgery, and it expected that minimally invasive surgery the possible development of oxidative will be less severe.To evaluate markers pro-oxidant activity - levels lipid peroxides malondialdehyde antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase glutathione peroxidase in perioperative period patients undergoing gynecological to determine whether duration can affect these changes.The study included 64 patients, divided...
Age remains a significant and unmodifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, an increasing number of patients older than 80 years age undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Old is also independent postoperative complications. The aim this study to describe the population or who underwent CABG procedure assess mortality rate factors in-hospital mortality.A retrospective case-series analyzing 388 consecutive aged isolated between 2010 2014 in Department Cardiovascular Surgery...
BACKGROUND:Hyperlactatemia is a common phenomenon following cardiac surgeries and associated with prolonged ICU stay higher morbidity mortality rates, but such analyses have never focused on patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTX), in whom hyperlactatemia defined the traditional threshold observed nearly every individual. The present study aimed to assess prognostic value clinical usefulness of postoperative serum lactate level measurements for in-hospital prediction HTX. MATERIAL...
Abstract Background Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the main cause of death in first 30 days after heart transplantation (HTX), accounting for approximately 40% mortality. The study’s primary aim was to assess incidence PGD, following International Society Heart and Lung Transplantation consensus, compare it with significant postoperative hypotension despite administration high-dose inotropes vasoconstrictors. secondary study determine changes biochemical markers that accompany...
Advanced heart failure (HF), that affects 10% of the HF population, is associated with high mortality rate, meeting 50% at 1-year from diagnosis. For these individuals, transplantation (HTX) remains ultimate and gold-standard treatment option. Serum lactate level measurements has been proven useful for determining outcome following other cardiac surgeries among critically ill patients. Increased serum levels are expected HTX; however, no detailed analysis yet performed in this population....
