conclusions no significant difference in reducing post bypass inflammation between preoperative steroid treatment and combined preoperative and intraoperative steroid administration reported and they had the same effects. results in both groups, no significant difference with variation of expression for il-6 (inflammatory factor) and il-10 (anti-inflammatory factor) in different times after byp...

conclusions there was no difference in clinical outcome after cardiac surgery when we administered an additional dose of methylprednisolone compared to a single dose of methylprednisolone. patients and methods sixty pediatric patients (age < 5years) undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery between september 2011-2012 at imam reza hospital-mashhad were randomly assigned to receive preoperative ...

the present study was designed to examine the anatomical parameters of the cardiopulmonary system, the function of venous blood gas parameters and the development of ascites incidence in two genetic line chickens. three hundred forty day-old chickens from two pure broiler breeder lines, which were different in their growth rate and susceptibility to ascites syndrome were obtained. the relative ...

the present study was undertaken to compare the in hospital results of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with (on pump) or without (off pump) cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). data were collected on all first-time isolated cabgs with saphenous vein and/or artery grafts at shahid madani hospital in tabriz-iran, between 2006 and 2009. age and clinical profile were marched between on pump and off pu...

OBJECTIVES Describe the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation as rescue therapy in pediatric patients who experience cardiopulmonary arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation. We report on outcomes and factors associated with survival in children treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation during cardiopulmonary arrest from the American Heart Association Nation...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to estimate how long cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be extended with acceptable results. DESIGN Review of consecutive adult in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients without return of spontaneous circulation in 10 mins and with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation re...

Introduction: Awareness of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is obligatory for every graduated medical student. In fact, only correct and effective Cardiopulmonary resuscitation can increase the survival rate of patients with cardiopulmonary arrest and since CPR techniques and maneuvers should be done in a specific way for children, it is important to evaluate the knowledge of pedia...

OBJECTIVE Despite advances in medical care, survival to discharge and full neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest remains less than 20% after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An alternate approach to traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation is extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which places patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and prov...
