First do no harm: postoperative thromboprophylaxis following open heart surgery.
We recently operated on a patient with an acute aortic dissection Stanford Type A. The postoperative period was uneventful. Our intensive care unit team started anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis within the first postoperative day, basing their decision on the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery (EACTS) guidelines [1]. After reviewing these and other guidelines carefully, we re...
متن کاملFollowing Open Heart Surgery
A technique is described to control recurrent or sustained supraventricular tachycardia associated with rapid ventricular rates following open heart surgery. The technique utilizes a pair of temporarily implanted atrial epicardial wire electrodes to pace the heart. In one group of patients with recurrent atrial flutter and 2:1 A-V conduction, continuous rapid atrial pacing at 450 beats/min prod...
متن کاملGenetics of postoperative complications following thoracic surgery.
The field of complex trait-gene interaction research has expanded exponentially in recent years, and new insights into the ways patients respond to surgical stimuli have arisen from this body of work. From a physiological systems perspective, thoracic surgical procedures (thoracotomy in particular) represent a massive input stimulus, and it is, therefore, not surprising that approximately 30% o...
متن کاملBase 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...
