Cardiac herniation following intrapericardial pneumonectomy.
Cardiac herniation is a rare, highly lethal complication of intrapericardial pneumonectomy, demanding urgent treatment. The condition presents in the immediate or early postoperative period. Cardiovascular collapse is invariably present. Elevation of the jugular venous pressure and cyanosis in the drainage area of the superior vena cava are frequently noted. Diagnosis rests on an awareness of t...
متن کاملArrhythmias following cardiac surgery.
One of the many new problems created by cardiac surgery is the management of post-operative disturbances of rhythm. The following observations are based on 48 cases seen during the last 18 months at the Brompton Hospital, where it is our practice to give digitalis before operation to all cardiac cases. Clinically theproblems fall into three main groups: (1) Cases of " tachycardia" which give ri...
متن کاملArrhythmias following cardiac valve replacement.
A prospective study of 50 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement was designed to determiine the incidenice, types, and predisposing factors to postoperative arrhythmias. Patients were monitored continuously for the first 7 days following surgery. Thirty-seven patients (74%) experienced a total of 66 episodes of arrhythmia. Supraventricular arrhythmias were the most common (43...
متن کاملCardiac herniation following pneumonectomy--an old complication revisited.
Cardiac herniation is a recognised complication of pneumonectomy when a pericardial defect has been made during resection. This complication is very rare and, with the increasing preference for more limited resections, is even less frequently encountered now than it was several decades ago. Uncorrected cardiac herniation is usually lethal, with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality even a...
متن کاملCardiac dysrhythmia following pneumonectomy. Clinical correlates and prognostic significance.
Cardiac tachydysrhythmias occurred in 53 (22 percent) of 236 consecutive patients undergoing pneumonectomy. All patients had preoperative electrocardiograms which showed normal sinus rhythm. Patients did not receive digitalis before surgery. Atrial fibrillation was the most common dysrhythmia (64 percent; 34/53), followed by supraventricular tachycardia (23 percent; 12/53) and atrial flutter (1...
