To assess the relationship between body temperature and cardiac morbidity during perioperative period.Randomized controlled trial comparing routine thermal care (hypothermic group) to additional supplemental warming (normothermic group).Operating rooms surgical intensive unit at an academic medical center.Three hundred patients undergoing abdominal, thoracic, or vascular procedures who either had documented coronary artery disease were high risk for disease.The relative of a morbid event...

Patients undergoing major vascular surgery are at increased risk of perioperative mortality due to underlying coronary artery disease. Inhibitors the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (statins) may reduce through improvement lipid profile, but also stabilization plaques on wall.To evaluate association between statin use and mortality, we performed a case-controlled study among 2816 patients who underwent from 1991 2000 Erasmus Medical Center. Case subjects were all 160 (5.8%) died during...
<h3>Background</h3> Critically ill patients are medically complex and may benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to care. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted population-based retrospective cohort study of medical admitted Pennsylvania acute care hospitals (N = 169) July 1, 2004, June 30, 2006, linking statewide hospital organizational survey discharge data. Multivariate logistic regression was used determine the independent relationship between daily rounds 30-day mortality. <h3>Results</h3> A...
Background Unintended hypothermia occurs frequently during surgery and may have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Although mechanisms responsible for manifestations of are unclear, it is possible that they sympathetically mediated. In this prospective study, relationships between body temperature, neuroendocrine response, hemodynamic changes in perioperative period were examined. Methods Seventy-four elderly patients, undergoing abdominal, thoracic, or lower extremity vascular...
