Effects of Cardiac Surgery with Extracorporeal Circulation

چکیده
The effect of extracorporeal circulation during open heart surgery on changes in intellectual function was studied in 18 children. A group of patients undergoing such surgery was compared to a control group undergoing cardiac surgery without extracorporeal circulation. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was used to evaluate the patients. No significant differences were found in either the perfornance IQs, verbal IQs, or full scale IQs by comparing the postoperative scores to the preoperative scores either within each group or between the groups. Extracorporeal circulation during open heart surgery does not appear to alter intellectual functioning in the pediatric age group.

Tracheal Chondrosarcoma Excised With Extracorporeal Circulation
Introduction: Tracheal chondrosarcoma (TCS) is a rare malignancy, with only 19 cases described in the literature to date. Case presentation: Herein, we presented the third-largest TCS with such an airway compromise that neither orotracheal intubation nor jet ventilation or even tracheostomy was possible. So, extracorporeal circulation was needed to excise the tumor in a one-stage procedure. Th...

Hypothermia was introduced in cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation in the past in order to protect organs against hypoperfusion and hypoxia. At hypothermia, organs and tissues have lower metabolic requirements while their tolerance to hypoxia is enhanced. However, hypothermia is associated with many adverse effects on the organism, which results in impairment of organ and systemic fu...
