Adverse effects of buffered glutaraldehyde on the Heidbrink expiratory valve.
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of chemical disinfection of the Heidbrink expiratory valve in buffered glutaraldehyde (Cidex solution) was investigated. Cidex caused stickiness and increased the opening pressure and resistance of the valve to different gas flow rates. An electrolytic type of corrosion may also have occurred. However, autoclaving of the Heidbrink valve did not appear to cause corrosion or significant alteration of its opening pressure or resistance.

Resistance of Heidbrink-type expiratory valves.
The minimum resistance of expiratory Heidbrink-type value has been assessed by determining the pressure decrease across the values at a flow rate of 30 litre min--1. The average resistance of 70 valves currently in clinical use was 318 Pa at that flow rate and about 44% had resistances greater than the limit of 294 Pa previously suggested. The resistances obtained in new valves were either simi...
متن کاملPrevention of calcification with TPEN in pericardial bioprosthetic heart valve material.
OBJECTIVE Calcification is a frequent cause of the clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves fabricated from glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium. The major object of the present study is to prevent calcification of pericardial bioprosthetic heart valve materials with TPEN. METHODS Bovine pericardium was cut into 2-cm 2 pieces, rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline solution, transf...

The carotid bodies from control, reserpine-treated, and hypoxia-treated hamsters were fixed with phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, s-Collidine-buffered osmium tetroxide, or phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde followed by potassium dichromate incubation. Following glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide fixation no differences in density or population of the electron-opaque granules ...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
متن کاملComparison of Group and Individual Training on the Patients’ Compliance and Incidence of Warfarin Side Effects after Cardiac Valve Replacement
Introduction: Oral anticoagulant therapies are intended for prevention of thrombotic adverse effects and to maintain the level of drug without bleeding. The probability of risk highly depends on the patient compliance after discharge from hospital. This study was designed to compare the effect of group and individual education on patients’ compliance and incidence of adverse effects of warfarin...
