192 PROLONGED MECHANICAL VENTILATION OF INFANTS AFTER OPEN HEART SURGERY

Predictors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation after Open Heart Surgery

INTRODUCTION Due to the importance of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) as a postoperative complication, predicting "high-risk" patients by identifying predisposing risk factors is of important issue. The present study was aimed to identify perioperative variables associated with PMV in patients undergoing open heart surgery. METHODS A total of 743 consecutive patients, American Society ...

predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease

conclusions the results of this study indicated that pmv predictors could be specific for each center and a good administration program is needed for each pediatric cardiac surgery center for the preoperative management of patients undergoing congenital heart surgeries. results a total of 300 patients, 56.7% male, were enrolled in this study. their mean age was 32 ± 40 months .the median durati...

Successful prolonged resuscitation after open heart surgery.

Causes of prolonged mechanical ventilation after coronary artery bypass surgery.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate causes of failure to be extubated (FTE) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Cardiovascular surgical ICU. PATIENTS Four hundred patients undergoing CABG surgery. Following surgery, patients were extubated by a standardized respiratory protocol and were assessed at 8, 24, and 48 h. Patients who could ...

Gas exchange during mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. Intermittent mandatory ventilation after open heart surgery.

Pulmonary gas exchange rates in eight patients after open heart surgery were studied during weaning from the ventilator. We investigated continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPPV), intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and spontaneous breathing with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). During each mode of ventilation we measured: CO2 production (VCO2), O2 consumption (VO2), cardi...
