Background: Previous studies have shown that several factors affect the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this study, we have evaluated the factors associated with the outcome of resuscitation in in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest patients (IHCA) 002E. Methods: This cross-sectional non-probability study was performed on patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest between 2015 a...

BACKGROUND Because of its rapid onset and recovery profile, propofol-mediated sedation is predominantly used during endoscopy. OBJECTIVE To examine procedure-specific occurrence and risk factors for cardiopulmonary events during propofol-mediated gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients aged over 70 years. METHODS Retrospective study with the anesthesia recorder system was performed to determ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The transient myocardial ischemia that occurs during cardiac surgery leads to oxidative stress and the production of free radicals. The resulting damage can be reduced if cardiopulmonary bypass is avoided. We obtained indirect measures of the oxidative damage occurring during cardiac surgery by monitoring the glutathione system and we studied the influence of cardiop...

background: accidents are the second reason for mortality and morbidity in iran. among them, brain injuries are the most important damage. clarification of the effects of brain injuries on different body systems will help physicians to prioritize their treatment strategies. in this study, the effect of pure brain trauma on the cardiovascular system and lungs 24 hours post trauma was assessed. m...

there is a paucity of literature regarding iatrogenic aortic valve perforation after cardiac operation is performed in the vicinity of the aortic valve. this report describes the clinical, echocardiographic, and angiocardiographic recognition of iatrogenic aortic valve perforation in a patient who had previously under gone membranous ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. five days a...

a 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. at microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. we found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis

Abstrad------------------Hemofiltration during or after cardiopulmonary bypass has proved to be an efficient tool for hemoconcentration. Classically, the hemofilters are supplied by the arterial line and the filtration rate is mainly a function of the perfusion pressure. We have developed a convertible cardiopulmonary bypass system including a double head roller pump for blood cardioplegia appl...
