Effect of Instructional Videos on Postoperative Respiratory Function in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Open Heart Surgery
Background: Respiratory function in patients undergoing open heart surgery is disrupted after surgery. Patient education on managing complications can reduce occurrence or severity of them. A variety of educational tools has been introduced, but there are controversies about the most appropriate tools. Aim: Determine the effect of instructional videos on respiratory function of the patients af...
متن کاملRelation of thromboelastography parameters to conventional coagulation tests used to evaluate the hypercoagulable state of aged fracture patients
Fractures are common among aged people, and rapid assessment of the coagulation status is important. The thromboelastography (TEG) test can give a series of coagulation parameters and has been widely used in clinics. In this research, we looked at fracture patients over 60 and compared their TEG results with those of healthy controls. Since there is a paucity of studies comparing TEG assessment...
متن کاملOsteoporosis in patients undergoing lung transplantation.
The occurrence of osteoporotic fractures may seriously compromise the quality of life of lung transplant recipients. However, at present, the true risk of osteoporosis in such patients is unknown. We therefore prospectively evaluated bone mass changes in patients undergoing pulmonary transplantation. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and femoral shaft (FS), as w...
متن کاملCombined Bilateral Lung Transplantation and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass
Coronary artery disease has historically been a contraindication to lung transplantation. We report a successful combined bilateral lung transplantation and off-pump coronary artery bypass in a 62-year-old man. The patient had a progressive decline in lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and a history of severe occlusive coronary artery disease.
متن کاملNormal thrombin generation in neonates in spite of prolonged conventional coagulation tests.
Conventional coagulation tests might be inadequate to explore mechanisms regulating thrombin generation in neonates, because they do not allow full activation of the reduced levels of protein C. Therefore, they do not reflect the action of pro- and anti-coagulants as does the endogenous thrombin potential assessed in the presence of thrombomodulin. Endogenous thrombin potential measured without...
