Seizures Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seizures following cardiopulmonary bypass are an immediate and alarming indication that a neurologic event has occurred. A case report of a 67-year-old man undergoing aortic valve surgery who unexpectedly experiences seizures following cardiopulmonary bypass is outlined. Possible contributing factors including atheromatous disease in the aorta, low cerebral perfusion pressures, an open-chamber procedure, and the use of tranexamic acid are identified.

Electroencephalographic seizures during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Eleven cardiac operations are reported in which there was electroencephalographic and/or clinical evidence of seizure activity during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In four patients seizure activity appeared after acute episodes of cerebral ischaemia resulting from either hypotension or pump-generated emboli occurring at the beginning of CPB, or from air embolism occurring at the end of CPB when...
متن کاملHigh-dose tranexamic Acid is associated with nonischemic clinical seizures in cardiac surgical patients.
BACKGROUND In 2 separate centers, we observed a notable increase in the incidence of postoperative convulsive seizures from 1.3% to 3.8% in patients having undergone major cardiac surgical procedures. These events were temporally coincident with the initial use of high-dose tranexamic acid (TXA) therapy after withdrawal of aprotinin from general clinical usage. The purpose of this review was to...
متن کاملDHA-supplemented diet increases the survival of rats following asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass resuscitation
Accumulating evidence illustrates the beneficial effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cardiovascular diseases. However, its effects on cardiac arrest (CA) remain controversial in epidemiological studies and have not been reported in controlled animal studies. Here, we examined whether dietary DHA can improve survival, the most important endpoint in CA. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were ...
متن کاملIntraoperative hyperglycemia during infant cardiac surgery is not associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes at 1, 4, and 8 years.
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether intraoperative hyperglycemia in infants is associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcomes after low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (LF), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (CA), or both. METHODS In a database review of a prospective trial of 171 infants undergoing arterial switch for D-transposition of the great arteries who were randomly assigned to predomin...
متن کاملAortic cannulation and cardiopulmonary bypass independently produce selective brain lesions in pig.
Whether cardiopulmonary bypass alone or together with the manipulation of the aorta produce neurological complication remains controversial. Using a domestic pig model of cardiopulmonary bypass, we investigated the immediate effects of aortic cannulation and cardiopulmonary bypass on neuronal injury in different brain regions. We compared the presence of neuronal injury in three experimental gr...
