Postural and Venous Stasis-Induced Changes in Total Calcium

Adjusted calcium conflict resolved? Differing effects on plasma total calcium of changes in plasma albumin after venous stasis or myocardial infarction.

Others have challenged the concept of adjusting total plasma calcium for albumin concentration on the grounds that after the application of a tourniquet the increase in calcium for a given increase in albumin differs significantly between normal individuals. We have confirmed this finding. In contrast, we have found that after myocardial infarction the fall in calcium for a given fall in albumi...

Hemorheological changes during venous stasis as result of tourniquet application.

We read with interest the paper of Rosenson and Tangney [1] on the effect of tourniquet application on plasma viscosity measurements. Hemorheological changes have been detected in various conditions in which there are variations in blood velocity and pressure. They have been demonstrated, for instance, in vascular diseases with the reduction of the blood supply to the tissue due to an obstructi...

Venous Stasis and Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention in Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery – is one of the most progressive minimal invasive surgery branches. About 25–40% of all abdominal operations are performed laparoscopicaly in our days and this rating is going in ascending order. Laparoscopic operations (cholecystectomy, fundoplication, appendectomy, bypass due to morbid obesity et at.) have rapidly become the operations of choice in abdominal surgery. Seve...

AORN guideline for prevention of venous stasis.

© AORN, Inc, 2007 INTRODUCTION Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE) are major risk factors for patients undergoing surgical or other invasive procedures, and thromboprophylaxis should be considered for all these patients. Prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a combination of DVT and PE, is more effective than treatment and is an important aspect of patient care before,...
