conclusions reciting the word “allah” as a non-pharmacological, low-cost and non-invasive method with no side effects can be effective on pain relief after cabg surgery. results there was a significant difference regarding pain severity after the intervention between the two groups during three days after the operation (respectively p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.001 and p ≤ 0.003), but no significant differ...

background: coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery is very traumatic and makes patients very nervous. since it is a main task of nurses to improve patients' comfort and safety, this study investigated the effect of therapeutic touch in cardiovascular patients' anxiety before cabg surgery. methods: in a controlled clinical trail study the simple random sampling was used to select 44 patient...

Aim of the work To study extent right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in ischemic patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients and methods RV function was studied preoperatively followed for 1 month postoperatively 40 who were scheduled elective surgery other controls. We evaluated by tissue Doppler tricuspid annulus basal septum, annular plane systolic excursion, dimensions. Bo...

certain benefits are clearly associated with the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) as compared with the on-pump cabg. the superiority is more evident in patients with multiple co morbidities including renal failure.we reviewed the medical records of a 67-year-old male with a past medical history that was significant for multiple cardiovascular diseases and new-onset end-sta...

background according to the previous studies, antihypertensive drugs should be withdrawn before surgery. nowadays it is accepted that some drugs effectively control systemic blood pressure (bp) to assure its desirable therapeutic control. objectives in this study, the effects of captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (acei), on hemodynamic changes before, during and after the cor...

BACKGROUND It has been well documented that women have higher morbidity and mortality rates than men following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In view of this evidence, it is necessary to know if there is benefit to off-pump CABG surgery in women in comparison to on-pump CABG. OBJECTIVES Compare outcomes between off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG in women. METHODS Retrospective stu...

Background and Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed cardiac surgery globally in United States, however, women have worse outcomes than men. We aim to examine possible drivers of this sex difference CABG outcomes.

OBJECTIVE Postoperative vasoplegic syndrome (PVS) is a potentially lethal condition with increased mortality and other postoperative morbidities. Many previous studies have examined the outcomes associated with on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, little is known about the incidence of PVS after off-pump CABG. METHODS From November 21, 2005 to June 9, 2006, 334 patients und...

background: it has been reported that ischemia-reperfusion is associated with augmentation of oxidative stress and its specific and sensitive markers. oxidative stress may cause atrial fibrillation (af) which is a common consequence after cardiac surgery. dietary supplementation with antioxidants might lower the incidence of af following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery. materials an...
