Leakage of albumin in major abdominal surgery.
BACKGROUND The time course of plasma albumin concentration (P-alb) and cumulative perioperative albumin shift as a measure of albumin extravasation in major abdominal surgery is not well described. Knowledge of these indices of the vascular barrier and vascular content are important for our understanding of fluid physiology during surgery and anesthesia. METHODS Patients (n = 10) were studied...

OBJECTIVE Perioperative pituitary-adrenal responses after major abdominal surgery have not been well characterized. The aim of the present study was to further clarify perioperative pituitary-adrenal responses. DESIGN Thirty-six patients (20 men), aged 68+/-10 years (mean+/-SD), undergoing major abdominal operations were studied. Total cortisol (TC), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortic...

MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of 16 unselected Jehovah's Witnesses patients was conducted between October 2004 and February 2012. We analysed gender, age, haemogram before a...
متن کاملPredicting mortality in damage control surgery for major abdominal trauma.
BACKGROUND Damage control surgery (DCS) has become well established in the past decade as the surgical strategy to be employed in the unstable trauma patient. The aim of this study was to determine which factors played a predictive role in determining mortality in patients undergoing a damage control laparotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of all patients undergoing a laparot...
متن کاملAlbumin Kinetics in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery
BACKGROUND The drop in plasma albumin concentration following surgical trauma is well known, but the temporal pattern of the detailed mechanisms behind are less well described. The aim of this explorative study was to assess changes in albumin synthesis and transcapillary escape rate (TER) following major surgical trauma, at the time of peak elevations in two well-recognized markers of inflamma...
