Intravenous Magnesium Prevents Atrial Fibrillation after Valvular Heart Surgery
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, its frequency ranges between 25– 40% reaching upto 50% following bypass surgeries as reported in previous studies. Several reports have indicated that postoperative AF is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. 2 Our primary aim in this study was to investigate the effectiveness of prophylactic mag...
متن کاملEfficacy of Goal-Directed Therapy Using Bioreactance Cardiac Output Monitoring after Valvular Heart Surgery
PURPOSE We compared the efficacy of postoperative hemodynamic goal-directed therapy (GDT) using a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) and bioreactance-based noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing valvular heart surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty eight patients were randomized into two groups of GDT with common goals to maintain a mean arter...
متن کاملAmrinone therapy for severe pulmonary hypertension and biventricular failure after complicated valvular heart surgery.
We report two cases in which amrinone was used effectively, in addition to the conventional sympathomimetic drug, for the emergence from cardiopulmonary bypass following complicated valvular heart surgery in patients who had severe pulmonary hypertension and biventricular failure. Amrinone was used in combination with isoproterenol in one and dopamine in the other case. The clinical changes wer...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy and valvular cardiomyopathy after corrective surgery.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to have clinical benefits in certain groups of patients with advanced heart failure (HF). However, patients with valvular cardiomyopathy are underrepresented in randomized clinical studies. The aim of this study was to assess the medium-term (i.e., at 6 months) effects of CRT in patients with HF exclusively due to valvular disease. The stud...
متن کاملResponse of Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and Functional Capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Device after Valvular Heart Surgery
Background: Pulmonary complications following valvular heart surgery are common and contribute to increased duration of hospital stay, rate of morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the response of maximum inspiratory pressure and functional capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure device in patients who underwent valvular hea...
