one of the most common health problems are diseases of the cardiovascular system with a great bulk of disease burden; while a considerable number of cardiac patients undergo cardiac surgery; cardiac surgical procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) are nowadays among the top list of surgical procedures. more than half of a century has passed since the introduction of total cardiopulmonary b...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation manikins are used for training personnel in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. State-of-the-art cardiopulmonary resuscitation manikins are still anatomically and physiologically low-fidelity designs. The aim of this research was to design a manikin that offers high anatomical and physiological fidelity and has a cardiac and respiratory system along with inte...

conclusions no significant differences were observed between electronic learning and lecture-based education in improving interns’ knowledge of cpr drugs. background conventional educational systems seem to be improper throughout the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) teaching process. the most common causes of failed resuscitation are unfamiliarity with cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm...

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...

1. Describe normal and abnormal embryonic development of those systems. 2. Identify and describe normal and abnormal structures using information from several scientific disciplines. 3. Explain the rationale for using the solutions commonly used for intravenous administration and calculate the changes the infusions have on body fluid and electrolyte balance. 4. Identify and describe normal and ...

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 (...

PURPOSE To study the efficacy of contrast MR imaging in the evaluation of central nervous system complications in the cardiopulmonary bypass patient and attempt to explain their pathophysiology based on the MR appearance and the cardiopulmonary bypass protocol. METHOD Nineteen patients were prospectively studied with contrast MR examinations the day before and 3 to 7 days after cardiopulmonar...
