Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, increasing morbidity and healthcare costs. This study aimed to identify echocardiographic predictors of POAF improve risk stratification. A total 131 patients undergoing surgery were analyzed divided into two groups based on occurrence. Echocardiographic analysis showed that with had larger left right dimensions impaired function. Prolonged conduction time (TACT), reduced emptying volumes, contractile...
Objective Surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is still required in selected adult patients. We analyzed the morphology anomaly and coexisting pathological findings patients who were recently referred to our institute for surgical PDA repair. Patients Interventions Six not considered candidates percutaneous underwent correction. In three with isolated PDA, computed tomographic scan revealed short, wide, distorted ductus. remainder patients, concomitant heart or aortic disease...
The quality of postoperative pain management is often poor. A "bundle," a small set evidence-based interventions, associated with improved outcomes in different settings. We assessed whether staff caring for surgical patients could implement "Perioperative Pain Management Bundle" and this would be multidimensional pain-related patient-reported (PROs)."PAIN OUT," perioperative registry, offers tools auditing PROs obtaining information about during the first 24 hours after surgery. Staff from...
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...
We investigated the impact of preoperative ultrasonography forearm circulation on radial artery conduit selection. Preoperative ultrasound was performed routinely in 536 patients planned for harvesting. The safety assessment harvest included following algorithm tests: ultrasound, Allen test, and pulse oximetry. quality criteria that were used to exclude a from harvesting small size artery, diffuse atherosclerosis, calcifications, severe neointimal hyperplasia. overall rejection rate due...
Abstract Ralstonia pickettii is an opportunistic bacterium found in the water environment with increasing incidence as a nosocomial pathogen. The objectives of this study were to describe R. bacteremia cardiac surgery patient and evaluate its ability grow saline solution form biofilm. underwent mitral aortic valve replacement two aortocoronary bypasses. She developed signs respiratory renal failure, therefore hemodialysis was started. After 25 days intensive care unit, had recurrent episodes...
Introduction: Ischemic postconditioning (IPCT) represents one of the several therapeutic strategies to attenuate ischemic reperfusion injury (IR) after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We here present first in-human study IPCT in surgery. Methods: The an observational case-control study, with data collected our Institution database. From December 2015 2020, a total 300 patients were included study; group consisted 148 whom was performed while control 152 not performed. Indications for technique...
In spite of the evidence suggesting a significant morbidity associated with blood transfusions, use and products remain high in cardiac surgery. To successfully minimize need for transfusion, systematic approach is needed. The aim this study was to investigate influence different anesthetic techniques, general vs combine epidural anesthesia, as well surgery strategies, on-pump off-pump, on postoperative bleeding complications transfusions during perioperative period.Eighty-two consecutive...
We investigated changes to transfusion practices over time in paediatric liver transplant centre and evaluated the effect of practice mortality.A pilot retrospective study included two cohorts each with 101 sequential LT recipients: an Early group (1994-1998) a Recent (2009-2013). Demographic characteristics data on intraoperative red blood cells (RBC), fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), platelets cryoprecipitate were collected. Postoperative laboratory results also obtained, together donor...
Copeptin is a sensitive and more stable surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin. In this study, we evaluated copeptin levels in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) patients, perioperatively, to determine whether can be related artery cross clamping (CC) time postoperative neurological outcomes. Copeptin, interleukin 6, C-reactive protein, cortisol, brain natriuretic peptide were measured preoperatively (T1) 3 hours postoperatively (T3) as well intraoperatively (T2). We recruited 77 patients....
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the incidence of embolic and thrombotic stroke. Although only preventive procedure, CEA carries risk perioperative complications. There constant searching for an optimal anesthetic technique. are pros cons both techniques used: regional (RA) general anesthesia (GA). A large number studies have compared RA GA in surgery patients. The primary outcome was proportion patients with stroke, myocardial infarction, or death....
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a medical procedure that consists of repeated brief periods transient ischaemia and reperfusion distant organs (limbs) with the ability to provide internal organ protection from ischaemia. Even though RIPC has been successfully applied in patients myocardial infarction during coronary revascularization (surgery/percutaneous angioplasty), underlying molecular mechanisms are yet be clarified. Thus, our study aimed determine role nitric oxide synthase...
Patients on dialysis for end-stage renal failure are subjected to cardiac surgery with increasing frequency. End-stage is known be an important risk factor complications of operations performed cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim this study was determine the impact preoperative clinical status and operative variables perioperative morbidity mortality in hemodialysis-dependent patients a surgery.The following were examined: urgency, type duration extracorporeal circulation. retrospective analysis...
