Surgical ICU recidivism after cardiac operations.
BACKGROUND Decreasing the ICU length of stay (LOS) after cardiac operations may increase ICU recidivism, obviating the benefit of early discharge. METHODS From January 1, 1994 to January 1, 1998, there were 2,388 consecutive cardiac operations, from which 2,228 patients were discharged alive from the ICU and had sufficient information to determine their incidence of ICU return, the reasons fo...
متن کاملChanges in B-type natriuretic peptides after surgical ventricular restoration.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate changes in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino terminal pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP) in relation to functional status after surgical ventricular restoration (SVR). METHODS Between March 2003 and May 2006, 29 patients (20 men and 9 women, mean age 65 years, mean ejection fraction 24%) with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm ...
متن کاملLack of right ventricular remodelling after surgical ventricular restoration
Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of long-term outcome in heart failure patients undergoing surgical ventricular restoration (SVR). RV assessment is therefore a pivotal step in the selection of patient candidates for SVR and during follow up. While the impact of SVR on left ventricle (LV) is currently described in terms of both functional and morphological ...
متن کاملA statistical analysis of pain relief after surgical operations.
OBJECTIVES Administering pain relief measures requires information about development of post-operative pain. Such information can be obtained from studying the patients' perception of pain. The aim of this study is to develop a statistical model that predicts the level of pain in different periods after the operation and the time effects of analgesics. The results can be used for an effective a...
متن کاملEnergy expenditure after 2- to 3-hour elective surgical operations.
UNLABELLED Energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry in 17 adult patients (8 women and 9 men) before surgery, 4 hours immediately after surgery, and 24 hours late after surgery in patients undergoing elective surgery of small-to-medium scope. MATERIAL AND METHODS The total duration of surgery ranged from 2 to 3 hours. Repeated measures were performed on the same patient, so that...
