A model to predict patient temperature during cardiac surgery.
A core temperature drop after cardiac surgery slows down the patient's recuperation process. In order to minimize the amount of the so-called afterdrop, more knowledge is needed about the impaired thermoregulatory system during anesthesia and the effect of different protocols on temperature distribution. Therefore, a computer model has been developed that describes heat transfer during cardiac ...
متن کاملA case Report of Cardiac Hydatid Cyst found during an Emergent Tamponade Surgery in an Unstable Patient
Cardiac hydatid cysts are uncommon and pericardial involvement is extremely uncommon. We report a rare case of a cardiac hydatid cyst that was surprisingly found during an emergent tamponade surgery in a woman. She was pale, febrile, ill and toxic and 300cc turbid and purulent fluid was drained. In taking history, it was found that the patient had six sheep dogs in her house. Laboratory analys...
متن کاملCardiac surgery in the elderly patient.
BACKGROUND As life expectancies rise and the number of persons over age 75 in the population increases, the proper treatment of elderly cardiac patients is becoming a matter of ever greater medical and political importance. METHODS In collaboration with the German Federal Quality Assurance Office (Bundesgeschäftsstelle Qualitätssicherung, BQS), the authors analyzed the risk profiles of elderl...
متن کاملNoncardiac surgery in the cardiac patient.
As the population continues to age, more older patients present themselves for surgical procedures. Not uncommonly, these patients have considerable multiorgan dysfunction. Fundamental knowledge of predisposing risk is imperative for the optimal perioperative care of such patients. This review considers available data on factors that affect perioperative cardiac risk as they apply to specific c...
متن کامل[Cardiac surgery in the cancer patient].
The goal of cardiac surgery is to prolong survival and improve the patient’s quality of life. These 2 objectives— longer and better life—run parallel in most cases. There are times, however, when they are clearly dissociated. For example, the indication for valve replacement in a case of chronic aortic regurgitation with left ventricular dysfunction is universally accepted, even though the pati...
