Open lung ventilation does not increase right ventricular outflow impedance: An echo-Doppler study.
OBJECTIVE Ventilation according to the open lung concept (OLC) consists of recruitment maneuvers, followed by low tidal volume and elevated positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Elevated PEEP is associated with an increased right ventricular afterload. We investigated the effect of OLC ventilation on right ventricular outflow impedance during inspiration and expiration in patients after card...
متن کاملquantification of aortic regurgitation severity by left ventricular to right ventricular stroke volume ratio
background: echocardiography is the most common test used for the evaluation of aortic regurgitation (ar). however, the role of echocardiography as an available and inexpensive method in the quantification of ar by the left ventricle to right ventricle stroke volume ratio (lv/rv sv ratio) has not been completely investigated. methods: between june 2005 and december 2007, 132 consecutive patient...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy in Children: Brief Review Literature
Right ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (RVNC) is a genetic heterogeneous cardiomyopathy. Despite the increasing number of RVNC cases, the classification and natural history of this disorder are not completely clear. Also, because the pathogenic non-compaction cannot be easily differentiated from normal trabeculations, it is usually hard to accurately measure the prevalence of RV ...
متن کاملRight ventricular aneurysm with ventricular premature beats.
The majority of left ventricular aneurysms occur as a consequence of ischaemic heart disease and healed myocardial infarction. Arrhythmias happen sometimes as complications of left ventricular aneurysm, and aneurysmectomy for the control of these arrhythmias was recently reported (Hunt, Sloman, and Westlake, I969). In contrast, aneurysm of the right ventricle is rare (Weglicki, Ruskin, and McIn...
متن کاملCyclic changes in right ventricular output impedance during mechanical ventilation.
In a context such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, where optimum tidal volume and airway pressure levels are debated, the present study was designed to differentiate the right ventricular (RV) consequences of increasing lung volume from those secondary to increasing airway pressure during tidal ventilation. The study was conducted by combined two-dimensional echocardiographic and Doppler...
