introduction: emergency department thoracotomy (edt) may serve as the last survival chance for patients who arrive at hospital in extremis. it is considered as an effective tool for improvement of traumatic patients’ outcome. the present study was done with the goal of assessing the outcome of patients who underwent edt and its predictive factors. methods: in the present study, medical charts o...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The main purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiopulmonary endurance, so it necessary build endurance response models based on different frequencies exercise. Objective: To study the women Methods: Twenty young female desk workers (female teachers and civil servants) who worked out at a fitness club were randomly divided into two groups. Cardiopulmonary function, ...

OBJECTIVE To assess survival of patients undergoing cerebral cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers and to identify prognostic factors for short-term survival. METHODS Prospective study with patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. RESULTS The study included 150 patients. Spontaneous circulation was re-established in 88 (58%) patients, and 42 (28%) were discharged from ...

conclusions: in the present study, applying positive airway pressure methods (cpap or imv) during cpb was associated with better postoperative abg measurements and (a-a) do2. results: the demographic data were similar in between three groups. graft number, pump time and preoperative abgs were not significantly different. postoperative pao2 were significantly higher in the cpap and imv groups an...

background evaluation of operational risk is a consequential goal in perioperative management of patients in cardiac surgery. preoperative total lymphocyte count (ptlc) is a prognostic criterion of adverse major cardiovascular outcomes. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of ptlc as an independent predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality in car...

background: cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (cpcr) training is essential for all hospital workers, especially junior residents who might become the manager of the resuscitation team. in our center, the traditional cpcr knowledge training curriculum for junior residents up to 5 years ago was lecture-based and had some faults. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a problem-based meth...

Background: Patients experiencing cardiac arrest outside medical facilities are at greater risk of death and might have negative outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration affects survival such patients, which suggests that CPR may be vital to patient Objectives: The study aims evaluate the impact cardiopulmonary on patients who suffered out-of-hospital arrest.

Major physiological stress occurs during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. This is related to hypothermia and artificial organ perfusion. Thus, serious gastrointestinal complications, particularly upper gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes follow cardiac surgery. We have compared the antisecretory effects of a preanesthetic H(2) antagonist (roxatidine, cardiopulmonary bypass-H(2) gro...
