introduction : there is always concerns regarding postoperative bleeding in coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) patients; a number of different strategies have been used to compensate for it and to reduce the amount of blood transfusion. we designed this study to see if local fibrinogen could decrease postoperative bleeding in adult cabg, which is not studied yet. materials and methods : in a d...

introduction: as off pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (cabg) is a developing method in coronary cardiac surgery, most surgeons are anxious about the danger of emergency crash conversion. in this observational study we tried to show the rate and outcome of conversion . material and methods: in this descriptive study about 477 coronary off-pump cabg patients were operated in ghaem hos...

Objectives: The objectives of this post hoc analysis was to describe the characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators among patients with normal ventilator weaning response and dysfunctional ventilator weaning response after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and to find the differences in characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators between patients with normal ventilator weaning response...

background: patients with psychological problems after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg) show poorer outcomes; nevertheless, there is a paucity of research into the effects of cardiac rehabilitation programs on such patients. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of phase iii cardiac rehabilitation programs on the anxiety and quality of life of anxious patients who had...

The main purpose of the off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is to reduce morbidity and mortality due cardiopulmonary bypass. However, even though many studies have shown that off-pump coronary artery bypass is feasible and provides hospital morbidity and mortality similar to the on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, probably better in some aspects, its long-term results have been qu...

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 (...
