Cardiac surgery and the brain: differences between adult and paediatric studies.
نویسنده
چکیده
Evidence is growing that patients with congenital heart disease who undergo surgery may be at increased risk of neurodevelopmental dysfunctions, particular paediatric survivors. However, paediatric studies involve different challenges from those conducted on adults.

Correlation of intraoperative renal near infrared spectroscopy with the development of acute kidney injury in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass
Introduction: The present study aimed to correlate renal oximetry near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values with conventional non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Accordingly, renal NIRS can be employed as a trending device for the prevention of AKI developmen...
متن کاملA LARGE BRAIN HYDATID CYST AND CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT
Echinococcosis is endemic in many sheep-raising areas of the world. Cardiac involvement in patients with hydatid disease is uncommon (<2%). Here, we report a 30-year-old shepherd from Oshnavie, West Azarbaijan who was presented with right hemiparesis and admitted in neurosurgery ward of Imam Khomeini Hospital, Urmia, Iran because of a large cystic lesion in brain MRI. There was left bundle bran...
متن کاملVulnerability of paediatric myocardium to cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE Myocardial injury is an important cause of mortality and morbidity after paediatric cardiac surgery. Data obtained from studies in animals imply that juvenile myocardium is more resistant to the effects of ischaemia and reperfusion than adult myocardium but there is little confirmatory evidence in the clinical setting. DESIGN Prospective observational study of biochemical markers of...
متن کاملDifferential Cortical Oscillatory Patterns in Amputees with and Without Phantom Limb Pain
Objective: Phantom limb pain (PLP) as neuropathic pain affects the life of amputees. It is believed an efficient PLP treatment should consider the underlying neurological mechanisms. Hereby, we investigated brain activity in PLP’s and relations to the psychological and cognitive dimension of chronic pain. We investigate differences in resting brain activities between amputees with and without p...
متن کاملEffect of three different anaesthetic agents on the postoperative production of cardiac troponin T in paediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Paediatric cardiac surgery is associated with some degree of myocardial injury. Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) has been investigated widely in the adult population. Volatile agents have been shown to simulate IP providing extra protection to the myocardium during adult cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) while propofol seems to act through different mechanisms. IP has not been investigated ...
