Ventilator-associated pneumonia after elective cardiac surgery caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii
(E-Med, 2014)
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a severe complication among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Although hospital-acquired bacterial pathogens, often multidrug resistant, are the most frequent cause, non-bacterial ...
Antioxidant Therapy Reduces Oxidative and Inflammatory Tissue Damage in Patients Subjected to Cardiac Surgery with Extracorporeal Circulation
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011-04)
Ischaemia reperfusion injury is a pathophysiological event that occurs after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. This clinical event has been associated with the induction of oxidative and inflammatory damage ...
Influence of the timing of cardiac surgery on the outcome of patients with infective endocarditis and stroke
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
© The Author 2012. Background. The timing of cardiac surgery after stroke in infective endocarditis (IE) remains controversial. We examined the relationship between the timing of surgery after stroke and the incidence of ...
Barrett's esophagus can develop after antireflux surgery
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2008-10)
BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) without Barrett's esophagus (BE) is an excellent alternative therapy to medical treatment, preventing the development of complications ...
The effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins on atrial oxidative stress, nitrotyrosine residues, and connexins following extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(Springer, 2017)
Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation is characterized by different degrees of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, which is often associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). We have previously shown ...
Autonomic imbalance in cardiac surgery: A potential determinant of the failure in remote ischemic preconditioning
(Churchill Livingstone, 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a cardioprotective strategy against myocardial damage by ischemia-reperfusion. Many in-vivo and ex-vivo animal researches have demonstrated that RIPC decreases ...
Evaluation of concordance among three cardiac output measurement techniques in adult patients during cardiovascular surgery postoperative care
(Sociedad Española de Medicina Intensiva, Crítica y Unidades CoronariasEspaña, 2017-09-30)
Introduction: The standard method for cardiac output measuring is thermodilution although it is
an invasive technique. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) offers a dynamic and functional
alternative to thermodilutio ...
Improvements in Heart Rate Variability in Women with Obesity: Short-term Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy
(Springer, 2020)
Purpose Obesity has been associated with reduced vagal function and increased sympathetic activity. Cardiac autonomic dysfunction has emerged as a major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Cardiac ...
