ANAESTHESIA FOR OPEN HEART SURGERY IN THE CALF

Anaesthesia for open heart surgery in the calf.

The calf is a suitable animal for experimental open heart surgery. At 4-8 weeks of age the anatomical disposition and size of its heart and great vessels are similar to those of man, and it tolerates cardiopulmonary bypass well. Its tractability makes the calf a good subject for aftercare. However, it is said to present certain anaesthetic problems including sensitivity to barbiturates (Taverno...

Base deficit in the immediate postoperative period of open-heart surgery and patient outcome

 Abstarct Background: Base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status that evaluates the severity of shock at the cellular level. Base deficit results from cellular metabolism of pyruvate under anaerobic conditions. In this situation, base deficit is a sensitive marker of the magnitude of anaerobic metabolism and tissue oxygen deficit [1]. Several studies have shown a strong pos...
