Haemodynamic effects of R 80122 immediately after cardiopulmonary bypass; preliminary results

Influence of PEEP ventilation immediately after cardiopulmonary bypass on right ventricular function.

Ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is often the appropriate therapy for treating patients with impaired pulmonary function after cardiac surgery procedures. Circulatory depression, however, sometimes limits the level of PEEP. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of PEEP ventilation (+15 cmH2O) immediately after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass 1) period o...

Cardiorespiratory effects of protamine after cardiopulmonary bypass in man.

Effects of inosine on reperfusion injury after cardiopulmonary bypass

OBJECTIVE Inosine, a break-down product of adenosine has been recently shown to exert inodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore inosine might be a key substrate of pharmacological post-conditioning. In the present pre-clinical study, we investigated the effects of inosine on cardiac function during reperfusion in an experimental model of cardioplegic arrest and extracorporal cir...

Lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Pulmonary injury during cardiopulmonary bypass is common as patient factors (smoking, pain, pneumonia) and the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass combine to compromise lung function after cardiac surgery. Lung injury follows the propagation of an inflammatory response involving cytokines, complement, neutrophils, monocytes, activated endothelial cells and platelets. Neutrophils sequester in the ...
