1618 Communications to the Editor monectomy. He was discharged home but died on the 85th postoperative day. While the majority of studies examining preoperative risk have acknowledged that hypercarbia represents a relative contraindication to lung resection, a threshold value of 45 mm Hg has not been formally evaluated.3 Most studies have not listed PaCO2 values, although it is likely the major...
متن کاملPhrenic nerve injury in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery.
Fifty infants and 50 children less than 15 years undergoing palliative or corrective cardiac surgery in the Brompton Hospital between March and October 1988 had direct percutaneous stimulation of the phrenic nerve before and after operation. Ten patients, six under 1 year of age and four over, developed unilateral phrenic nerve injury. In those aged less than 1 year recovery after operation was...
متن کاملComparison of magnetic and electrical phrenic nerve stimulation in assessment of phrenic nerve conduction time.
Cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS), a nonvolitional test of diaphragm function, is an easy means for measuring the latency of the diaphragm motor response to phrenic nerve stimulation, namely, phrenic nerve conduction time (PNCT). In this application, CMS has some practical advantages over electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve in the neck (ES). Although normal ES-PNCTs have been consiste...
متن کاملUnilateral magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve.
BACKGROUND Electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve is a useful non-volitional method of assessing diaphragm contractility. During the assessment of hemidiaphragm contractility with electrical stimulation, low twitch transdiaphragmatic pressures may result from difficulty in locating and stimulating the phrenic nerve. Cervical magnetic stimulation overcomes some of these problems, but this t...
متن کاملRecurrent lung collapse due to unidentified phrenic nerve injury after cardiac surgery.
Partial or complete recurrent lung collapse after cardiac surgery is one cause of failure to wean from ventilator support, and frequently leads to multiple reintubations and prolonging intensive care unit and hospital stays. A 79-year-old female underwent uneventful coronary artery bypass surgery and was extubated on the first postoperative day (POD). On POD 2, a routine portable chest X-ray (C...
