Phrenic nerve injury in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery.
Fifty infants and 50 children less than 15 years undergoing palliative or corrective cardiac surgery in the Brompton Hospital between March and October 1988 had direct percutaneous stimulation of the phrenic nerve before and after operation. Ten patients, six under 1 year of age and four over, developed unilateral phrenic nerve injury. In those aged less than 1 year recovery after operation was...
متن کاملElectrophysiological evaluation of phrenic nerve injury during cardiac surgery – a prospective, controlled, clinical study
BACKGROUND According to some reports, left hemidiaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic nerve injury may occur following cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to document the effects on phrenic nerve injury of whole body hypothermia, use of ice-slush around the heart and mammary artery harvesting. METHODS Electrophysiology of phrenic nerves was studied bilaterally in 78 subjects before...

While the majority of studies examining preoperative risk have acknowledged that hypercarbia represents a relative contraindication to lung resection, a threshold value of 45 mm Hg has not been formally evaluated.3 Most studies have not listed PaCO2 values, although it is likely the major...
متن کاملRecurrent lung collapse due to unidentified phrenic nerve injury after cardiac surgery.
Partial or complete recurrent lung collapse after cardiac surgery is one cause of failure to wean from ventilator support, and frequently leads to multiple reintubations and prolonging intensive care unit and hospital stays. A 79-year-old female underwent uneventful coronary artery bypass surgery and was extubated on the first postoperative day (POD). On POD 2, a routine portable chest X-ray (C...
متن کاملEtiology and prevention of topical cardiac hypothermia-induced phrenic nerve injury and left lower lobe atelectasis during cardiac surgery.
Left hemidiaphragm elevation is frequently noted following cardiac surgery employing topical hypothermia. We speculate that contact of the left phrenic nerve with ice causes nerve injury, resulting in left hemidiaphragm paresis or paralysis and left lower lobe atelectasis. Left diaphragm elevation was noted on postoperative chest x-ray examination of 36 of 60 (60 percent) consecutive patients i...
