During cardiopulmonary-bypass matrix-metalloproteinases released may contribute to ventricular dysfunction. This study was to determine plasma matrix-metalloproteinases in neonates after cardiopulmonary-bypass and their relation to post-operative course. A prospective observational study included 18 neonates having cardiac surgery. Plasma matrix-metalloproteinases-2 and 9 activities were measur...

OBJECTIVE A multipronged approach to improve vital organ perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation that includes sodium nitroprusside, active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an impedance threshold device, and abdominal pressure (sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation) has been recently shown to increase coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of epinephrine when administered during either normothermic or therapeutic hypothermic cardiopulmonary resuscitation on postresuscitation myocardial and cerebral function and survival. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled experimental study. SETTING University-affiliated animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS Thirty-two healthy male Sprague...

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, ...

Physical training and functional reserve in winter physical education teaching can optimize the energy consumption of body, regulate cardiopulmonary function, stabilize emotions. It is essential to clarify strategies as well existing issues college teaching, which subsequently improves students’ functions achieves comprehensive development goals.

conclusions administration of albumin compared to hes in patients with a normal renal function results in a lower drop of gfr and platelet count, less bleeding and lower rise of serum creatinine. background the ideal strategy to prime the cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) circuit in adult cardiac surgery is still a matter of debate. objectives in this retrospective study, we examined albumin solutio...

BACKGROUND Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) usually experience progressive right ventricle (RV) dysfunction due to pulmonary regurgitation (PR). This could further worsen the cardiopulmonary function. This study aimed to compare the changes in patient exercise cardiopulmonary test and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and consider the implication of these changes. METHODS Ou...

OBJECTIVE To provide a brief review of the development of cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS A review of the literature on the development of extracorporeal circulation techniques, their essential role in cardiovascular surgery, and the complications associated with their use, including hemolysis and inflammation. RESULTS The advancement of extracorporeal circulation techniques has played an e...
