Combined thermodilution and two-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of right ventricular function during respiratory support with PEEP.
In ten patients requiring respiratory support for an episode of acute respiratory failure (ARF), the best therapeutic level of PEEP was determined by measurement of changes in lung and chest wall compliance (CT) during a PEEP challenge from 0 to 20 cm H2O. During this challenge, hemodynamic monitoring combined with thermodilution measurement of right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) and ...
متن کاملIntraoperative assessment of right ventricular volume and function.
OBJECTIVE Right ventricular function is an important aspect of global cardiac performance which affects patients' outcome after cardiac surgery. Due to its geometrical complexity, the assessment of right ventricular function is still a very difficult task. Aim of this study was to investigate the value of a new technique for intraoperative assessment of right ventricle based on transesophageal ...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملEffect of opening the pericardium on right ventricular hemodynamics during cardiac surgery.
The impact of the pericardium on right ventricular performance in the presence of normal filling pressures was evaluated using a rapid response RVEF thermodilution pulmonary artery catheter and TEE. In eight patients with normal right coronary arteries undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, hemodynamic measurements revealed increased right ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes ...
متن کاملRole of pericardial constraint for right ventricular function in humans.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To analyze the extent of pericardial constraint on right ventricular function in humans. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients, 59 +/- 2 (mean +/- SEM) years old, undergoing coronary bypass surgery. Right ventricular volumes and pressures were evaluated using a rapid response Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheter. INTERVENTIONS Parameters were determined before and after pericard...
