(BioMed Central, 2018)
Abstract
Background
Delirium is a common complication after cardiac surgery in older adult patients. However, risk factors and the influence of delirium on patient outcomes ...
Preoperative chest computed tomography screening for coronavirus disease 2019 in asymptomatic patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Due to the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus
(SARS-Cov-2), an efficient COVID-19 screening strategy is required for
patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The objective of this prospective
observational ...
Perioperative central venous oxygen saturation and its correlation with mortality during cardiac surgery: an observational prospective studyCorrelação entre saturação venosa central de oxigênio perioperatória e mortalidade em cirurgia cardíaca: estudo prospectivo observacional
(2020-01-01)
Background: Cardiac surgery can produce persistent deficit in the ratio of Oxygen Delivery (DO2) to Oxygen Consumption (VO2). Central venous oxygen Saturation (ScvO2) is an accessible and indirect measure of DO2/VO2 ratio. ...
Decreased Nitric Oxide Products in the Urine of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2009)
Objective: Renal vasoconstriction has been blamed as a cause of perioperative renal dysfunction after cardiac surgery. Endothelial function is a critical determinant of vascular tonus, including vasoconstriction. The ...

Some activities need to be stimulated in post-cardiac surgery, such as, mobilization, coughing, deep breathing exercises to avoid complications; however, these activities may be hinder by pain. An assessment of the pain ...
Cardiac Index Assessment by the Pressure Recording Analytic Method in Critically Ill Unstable Patients After Cardiac Surgery
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-12-01)
Objective: the authors measured cardiac index in unstable patients after cardiac surgery with the Pressure Recording Analytic Method (PRAM) and compared it with the reference method of thermodilution (ThD) with the pulmonary ...
Association between obesity and postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac operations: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-07-03)
In a systematic review and random effects meta-analysis, we evaluated whether obesity is associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Eighteen observational studies that ...
Rationale and design for the detection and neurological impact of cerebrovascular events in non-cardiac surgery patients cohort evaluation (NeuroVISION) study: a prospective international cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: Covert stroke after non-cardiac surgery may have substantial impact on duration and quality of life. In non-surgical patients, covert stroke is more common than overt stroke and is associated with an increased ...
Neuropsychological dysfunction after cardiac surgery. Cerebral saturation and bispectral index: A longitudinal study Disfunción cognitiva después de cirugía cardiaca. Saturación cerebral e índice biespectral: Estudio longitudinal
(2011)
Background: Neuropsychological dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Aim: To evaluate if intraoperative cerebral desaturation and depth of anesthesia measured by bispectral index ...
