Anesthesia in Cardiac Surgery (Open-Closed Heart)
In this paper the duties of an anesthesiologist and his right of i=;electing patient is discussed. La,ter, we di:=:cuss the <::mergencies cf heart surgery, pre up visit and alsc few dcails of pre up medication cf thei,e pati<mts. We also touch on the stages of anesthPsia and point to our preference for the use cf artery and vein for arterial and venous cannulation. In this paper we discuss in b...
full textMajor embolic complications of open heart surgery and DDA.
To the Editor: I read with interest the article by Furlan & Brueur on "Central Nervous System Complications of Open Heart Surgery". DDA is a variant of atherosclerosis which includes patients with "brittle aortas" wherein showers of cholesterol emboli repeatedly occur spontaneously or from trauma. I believe it is possible that a relatively high percentage of patients who suffered major embolic ...
full textCentral nervous system complications of open heart surgery.
Stroke and encephalopathy remain major causes of morbidity and occasional mortality complicating open heart surgery. Open heart surgery poses many hemodynamic, embolic, and metabolic threats to the brain, yet the cause of neurological damage often remains uncertain in the individual patient. Failure to recognize the multitude of potential causes for severe or subtle brain dysfunction after open...
full textComplications of aortic cannulation for open-heart surgery.
The performance of open-heart surgery necessitates the cannulation of a major artery to replace, into the patient, blood being returned from the pumpoxygenator. Originally the subclavian artery was used as it was thought that this would ensure good brain and coronary perfusion. With the change to a median sternotomy (Julian, Lopez-Belio, Dye, Javid, and Grove, 1957; Lillehei and Cardozo, 1959) ...
full textVariables that predict reintubation after open-heart surgery
Abstract Background: This study sought to determine patient characteristics, process of care, and outcome as predictors of reintubation after open-heart surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective case control study that included all patients undergoing cardiac surgery who required reintubation and an equal number of control patients not requiring reintubation. Putative risk factors were an...
full textFollowing Open Heart Surgery
A technique is described to control recurrent or sustained supraventricular tachycardia associated with rapid ventricular rates following open heart surgery. The technique utilizes a pair of temporarily implanted atrial epicardial wire electrodes to pace the heart. In one group of patients with recurrent atrial flutter and 2:1 A-V conduction, continuous rapid atrial pacing at 450 beats/min prod...
