Determination of the Effects of Digoxin on the Right Ventricular Function in Patients Undergoing Pneumonectomy
Introduction: Pneumonectomy is the standard treatment of lung cancer, even though patients should undergo several evaluations before surgery; deterioration of cardiopulmonary function after pulmonary resection is inevitable. We have evaluated the effects of digoxin on the improvement of right ventricular function and prevention of probable complications after lung resection surgery. Materials a...
متن کاملRight carinal pneumonectomy for a delayed diagnosis.
The authors present the case of a male patient misdiagnosed with right upper lobe tuberculosis and repeatedly treated for this in the last two years, without response. In our institution, the source of the hemoptysis proved to be a pulmonary carcinoma, which in its evolution involved the carina and the last tracheal ring. Right carenal pneumonectomy with two tracheal ring resection is performed...
متن کاملAcute “Pseudoischemic” ECG Abnormalities after Right Pneumonectomy
New onset of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities can occur after lung surgery due to the changes in the position of structures and organs in the chest cavity. The most common heart rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation. So-called "pseudoischemic" ECG changes that mimic classic ECG signs of acute myocardial ischemia are also often noticed. We report the case of a 68-year-old male, with no ...
متن کاملCardiac Herniation with Torsion after Right Pneumonectomy
For preoperative screening, a positron emission tomography/ computed tomography was performed. Subsequently, she was suspected to be rather in stage N2. Consequently, she underwent transpericardial pneumonectomy. After an uneventful surgery, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for postoperative monitoring. She was hemodynamically stable and had already been extubated in the o...
متن کاملUnexpected postoperative course after right pneumonectomy.
(CHEST 2000; 117:1184–1185) A 58-year-old male patient with noncomplicated alcoholic liver disease presented with a right upper parahilar pulmonary mass after minor blunt chest trauma. After an appropriate workup, nonsmall cell carcinoma of the lung was diagnosed. A right intrapericardial pneumonectomy was performed. A silastic chest drain with no negative pressure was left connected to a compe...
