Cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been shown to reduce neurological dysfunction and hospital length-of-stay after adult cardiac surgery in some but not all studies. We audited maintaining cerebral saturations at or above baseline showed improved outcomes. Our hypothesis for this study was that our NIRS protocol would improve outcomes.This prospective, single centre, double-blinded controlled randomized 182 consecutive patients, scheduled cardiopulmonary bypass....
Introduction The extravascular lung water content is determined by the use of ultrasound (LUS) which represented as B-lines. aim this study was to investigate whether LUS measurement correlated changes in oxygenation. Methods This prospective cohort comprised 73 patients with an average age 56 (range: 18 87 years) who underwent elective cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. score performed preoperatively, time zero (T0), at one hour (T1), and 24 hours (T2) post-surgery. Additionally,...
Mitral valve repair for significant mitral regurgitation (MR) is preferred to replacement, whenever feasible. Freedom from re-operation high, reaching 92% at 15 years. However, high-risk patients develop more complications and may be refused surgery. The results the Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair Study (EVEREST) II showed they might benefit percutaneous edge-to-edge using MitraClip® system (Evalve, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA). We present a case of ventilator-dependent 57-year-old man...
In emergency situations, real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3-dimensional TEE) may provide unique anatomic insights on prosthetic valves when two-dimensional imaging is inconclusive. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman, in cardiogenic shock, who had undergone mitral valve replacement 3 months ago. RT TEE revealed almost total, catastrophic prosthesis dehiscence following infective endocarditis, being perpendicular to normal plane. Corrective surgery was...
Introduction: Cardiac surgery is associated with significant morbidity and longer length-of-stay (LOS) than most other surgeries. Regional cerebral oximetry (rSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on the patient’s forehead monitors oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Its purpose to detect manage periods of hypoxia which may otherwise go undetected, thereby reducing morbidity. But outcomes have been inconsistent, not all cardiac departments adopted this non-invasive,...
INVOS measures cerebral oxygen saturation. A 100 patient audit examining the efficacy of showed a reduction in mortality and post-operative length stay (LOS) against national statistics [1]. Our aim was to analyse cost effectiveness mixed coronary bypass (CABG) only cardiac surgery by comparing group control group.
Introduction Renal dysfunction is a significant variable in determining the outcome of surgery, such as cardiopulmonary bypass graft and valvular replacement, used to treat cardiovascular diseases. In Saudi Arabia, incidence renal failure diabetes higher than most western populations. Our aim determine patients who underwent cardiac surgery at King Faisal Cardiac Center from 2014 2017. Methods This retrospective cohort study using non-probability consecutive sampling technique for selection...
Objective Post-operative infection after cardiac surgery causes prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality. In patients with diabetes, peri-operative pre-operative glycemic control have been associated risk of post-operative infection. Saudi Arabia is the 7th highest country in world for prevalence diabetes. our surgical population incidence diabetes 77%. We were aware a high infections institution. The aim this work was to assess how related six-week Method retrospectively collected...
