Mashup Score: 1
NEUROLOGIC COMPLICATIONS from cardiac surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) affect further outcomes, including length of hospital stay, survival, healthcare costs, and quality of life. Stroke is the most obvious manifestation among neurologic complications, reported in 1%-to-3% of patients.1 Although not as clinically significant as stroke, cognitive impairment occurs in about 50% of…

Mashup Score: 2Sternotomy Wound Infiltration With Liposomal Versus Plain Bupivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia After Elective Cardiac Surgery - 2 year(s) ago
Poor pain control after cardiac surgery can be associated with postoperative complications, longer recovery, and development of chronic pain. The authors hypothesized that adding liposomal bupivacaine (LB) to plain bupivacaine (PB) will provide better and long-lasting analgesia when used for wound infiltration in median sternotomy.

Mashup Score: 0Review of Postoperative Care for Heart Transplant Recipients - 2 year(s) ago
The early postoperative management strategies after heart transplantation include optimizing the function of the denervated heart, correcting the causes of hemodynamic instability, and initiating and maintaining immunosuppressive therapy, allograft rejection surveillance, and prophylaxis against infections caused by immunosuppression. The course of postoperative support is influenced by the…

Mashup Score: 3Anesthetic Considerations in the Electrophysiology Laboratory: A Comprehensive Review - 2 year(s) ago
Catheter ablation procedures for arrhythmias or implantation and/or extraction of cardiac pacemakers can present many clinical challenges. It is imperative that there is clear communication and understanding between the anesthesiologist and electrophysiologist during the perioperative period regarding the mode of ventilation, hemodynamic considerations, and various procedural complications. This…

Mashup Score: 1
ALTHOUGH THE use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for the diagnosis and management of patients outside of the cardiac operating room has gained increased application and importance in recent years, there remains a significant barrier in accessing the training required to widely implement its use. 1 The American Society of Echocardiography and the Society of Cardiovascular…

Mashup Score: 0Evaluation of Mitral-Aortic Flow Velocity Integral Ratio as a Tool to Differentiate Between Severe and Nonsevere Mitral Regurgitation - 2 year(s) ago
To evaluate mitral-aortic flow velocity integral ratio (MAVIR) as an echocardiographic tool to differentiate between severe and nonsevere mitral regurgitation (MR), compared with regurgitant volume (RVol) and effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA), with subgroup analysis in patients with calcific mitral valve, both by transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography. Also,…

Mashup Score: 4Renal Dysfunction and Arrhythmia Association in Patients Receiving Milrinone After Cardiac Surgery - 2 year(s) ago
PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE cardiac surgery are at an increased risk of developing low-cardiac-output syndrome that can continue for days after surgery, potentially leading to critical organ hypoperfusion and cardiogenic shock.1 Treatment options to reverse this acute low-output state include volume expansion, vasopressors, inodilators, and mechanical circulatory support devices.2 Milrinone is a type…
