Abstract OBJECTIVES Postoperative organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery, particularly when cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) used. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score validated to predict morbidity and mortality in surgery. However, the impact of CPB duration on postoperative SOFA remains unclear. METHODS This a retrospective study. Categorical values are presented as percentages. comparison groups utilized Kruskal–Wallis chi-squared test, complemented by ad hoc...
Background/Objectives: The incidence of aortic stenosis (AS) is predicted to rise with the aging population, emerging as a growing public health challenge in developed countries, leading an increased demand for intervention. Our aim predict evolution proposed cases SAVR geographic referral area our tertiary hospital until 2041. Methods: We used data from Portuguese Census 2001, 2011, and 2021 analyze resident population within Cardiothoracic Surgery Department's area. Applying projection...
The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a predictor of mortality in ICU patients. Although it widely used and has been validated as reliable independent morbidity cardiac ICU, few studies correlate early postoperative SOFA with long-term survival.Retrospective observational cohort study.Tertiary academic surgery ICU.One-thousand three-hundred seventy-nine patients submitted to surgery.SOFA 24 hours, 48 mean, highest scores were correlated survival at 12 months. Wilcoxon tests...
Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease. The number of octogenarians proposed for intervention growing due to increased lifespan. In this manuscript we aim evaluate perioperative outcome and long-term survival after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in octogenarians, comparing patients with low risk (EuroscoreII <4%) intermediate-high ≥4%).
Introduction Low mean arterial pressure (MAP) periods occur frequently during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and their management remains controversial. Our aim was to correlate MAP CPB with the occurrence of post-operative acute kidney injury (AKI), considering two different parameters: consecutive cumulative low periods. Methods Single-centre observational retrospective study including 250 patients submitted non-emergent aortic valve replacement, tepid mild hypothermia (not below 32°C). The...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Activated clotting time (ACT) is commonly used to monitor anticoagulation during cardiac surgeries. Final ACT values may be essential predict postoperative bleeding and transfusions, although ideal remain unknown. Our aim was evaluate the utility of as a predictor transfusion use. METHODS Retrospective study (722 patients) submitted surgery between July 2018–October 2021. We compared patients with final &lt; basal ≥ 140 s ≥140 s. Continuous variables were analysed...
Background: The physician-patient relation doesn't confine itself to the scientific / organic plane, since both physician and patient are physical beings with a psychological depth. This is central therapeutic success, influenced by personal behavioural characteristics of patient. Objective: To understand how patients from Primary Care Center believe an ideal General Practitioner should be in terms sociodemographic, appearance characteristics. Type study Population: Descriptive transversal...
. A 83 year old woman with history of arterial hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity, chronic renal insufficiency and incipient dementia was transferred to our hospital after complaints chest pain. Investigation revealed a sacular ascending aortic aneurysm the aneurysmal sac adjacent sternum. Due her age, cognitive state risk sternal entry, she refused for surgery. She discharged coronariography showed normal coronaries other causes pain were excluded. is still alive stable 40 months, no...
