Abstract Background: The thyroid hormones influence on all metabolic pathways. After heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), serum T3 decreases and remains low for at least 24 hours. Several studies on pediatric have reported reduction of thyroid hormones after heart surgery. This study aimed to investigate the status of thyroid function tests in children with CPB surgery. Metho...

Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in the prevention of death or delaying it in a person with cardiac arrest. In this regard, demographic information about patients who need CPR is vital. Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or arrhythmias admitted to Imam Reza and Sina ed...

OBJECTIVES 1) To identify whether patients with panic disorder in general and those with the respiratory subtype in particular actively avoid exercise; 2) to investigate physiological differences in cardiopulmonary function parameters in patients with panic disorder in general, patients with the respiratory subtype of panic disorder, and healthy controls upon exercise challenge. METHODS Patie...

conclusions in cabg with cardiopulmonary bypass, using plasma cortisol level as a measure, isoflurane-sufentanil significantly reduces the stress response to the surgery, when compared to propofol-sufentanil. results compared to the baseline (t0), at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (t1), both groups demonstrated a decrease in plasma cortisol levels with no statistical significant difference (...

Background: Liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump CABG.Methods: In 146 patients scheduled...

introduction: n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunits antibody (nr2-ab) is a sensitive marker of ischemic brain damage in clinical circumstances, such as cerebrovascular accidents. we aimed to assess the value of serum nr2-ab in predicting the post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) survival. methods: in this cohort study, we examined serum nr2-ab levels 1 hour after the return of spontaneous c...
