Pulse wave analysis (PWA) allows cardiac output (CO) measurement after calibration by transpulmonary thermodilution. A PWA system that does not require previous calibration, the FloTrac/Vigileo (FTV), has been recently developed. We compared determinations of CO made with FTV to simultaneous measurements using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).Ten ASA I-II patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery were studied. radial 20-gauge cannula was inserted and connected a...
Summary Background The propofol pharmacokinetic model derived by Kataria et al . was recently modified to perform effect‐site target‐controlled infusion (TCI). Effect‐site concentration (Ce) targets induce general anesthesia with this in children have not been described. aim of study identify Ce associated success rates 50% (Ce50) and 95% (Ce95) among 3–11 years age. Methods Forty‐two were assigned one seven groups six patients each according target Ce. After fentanyl administration TCI...
Recent studies have emphasized the importance of perioperative fluid restriction. However, restriction regimens may increase likelihood insufficient administration or result in excess intravascular crystalloid replacement. We postulate that use transesophageal echocardiography reduce amount administered during open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery.Fifteen ASA I II patients scheduled for surgery, 15 surgery were studied. Lactated Ringer's solution was infused procedures. Left ventricular...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> One hallmark of chronic liver disease in patients with portal hypertension is the formation portal-systemic collaterals which angiogenesis has a fundamental role. We studied undergoing transplantation to correlate levels circulating angiogenic factors and peripheral circulation pressure collaterals. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sixteen who underwent were enrolled. During transplant surgery, we determined venous...
Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is an option for people with liver failure who cannot be cured other therapies and some cancer.
Systolic anterior motion describes the displacement of one or both mitral valve leaflets, obstructing outflow tract left ventricle. It can be a cause severe hypotension during intraoperative and postoperative period non-cardiac surgery. The diagnosis is made with echocardiography. We report two patients this problem. first was 74-year-old male subjected to an incisional hernia repair who presented in period. A transesophageal echocardiography revealed leaflet. Epinephrine discontinued...
Introducción: El trasplante hepático (TH), es una terapia establecida en el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades del hígado agudas y crónicas terminales carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC). Las principales indicaciones nuestro medio son la cirrosis diferentes etiologías, CHC, atresia vías biliares niños falla hepática fulminante (FHF). Menos 10% corresponden a inhabituales, que incluyen pacientes con miscelánea entre las cuales están enfermedad poliquística (EPH), metabólicas (Niemann – Pick,...
La miastenia gravis juvenil (MGJ) es una enfermedad autoinmune de la unión neuromuscular que se manifiesta antes los 19 años y caracteriza por debilidad fluctuante distintos grupos musculares. El tratamiento principalmente farmacológico. timectomía ha demostrado mejorar las tasas remisión.Objetivo: Describir características clínicas evolución pacientes pediátricos con MGJ manejados toracoscopía videoasistida (TVA).Serie Clínica: Se presentan seis TVA entre marzo 2011 junio 2019. rango edad...
objetivo: Describir la experiencia con el bloqueador bronquial de Arndt (BBA) y determinar los efectos ventilación monopulmonar (VMP) en intercambio gaseoso pacientes pediátricos.método: El BBA se utilizó 11 que requirieron VMP.Cuando diámetro del tubo traqueal impedía uso como originalmente estaba descrito, éste fue colocado tráquea previo a intubación quedando por fuera traqueal.El posicionado ayuda un fibrobroncoscopio introducido través adaptador bloqueador.Se estandarizaron modalidad...
Perez and Perrino1 are correct that Perrino et al.2 used the triangular-shaped aortic valve area to estimate average cross-sectional of flow stream across valve, whereas we diameter left ventricular outflow tract calculate a circular valvular area. The latter may increase determine stroke volume,3 consequently, modify measured cardiac output (CO). To our knowledge, there no studies comparing both methods. However, it is reasonable think bias found in study probably overestimated by technique...
Summary Intramucosal gastric pH (pHi) was measured during liver transplantation in a 3‐year‐old girl. The basal value below that reported as normal for paediatric patients under stable ventilatory and haemodynamic conditions. Additional reductions of the pHi were observed hepatectomy anhepatic phase, absence or alterations. reperfusion phase characterized by progressive return toward values. Because we did not measure oxygen delivery consumption, cannot determine whether reduction due to...
