Electrical failure during cardiopulmonary bypass: a critical moment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical failure during cardiopulmonary bypass is a crisis situation for the cardiac surgical team. Fortunately, it has a low incidence with low morbidity and mortality rates. Notwithstanding, institutional preventative and management measures should be taken. Here, we report a case of electrical failure during cardiopulmonary bypass, which was successfully managed during the surgery, allowing the patient to recover uneventfully. These unwanted complications can only be managed by promoting awareness and putting in place strategies against them.

Variations in battery life of a heart-lung machine using different pump speeds, pressure loads, boot material, centrifugal pump head, multiple pump usage, and battery age.
Electrical failure during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has previously been reported to occur in 1 of every 1500 cases. Most heart-lung machine pump consoles are equipped with built-in battery back-up units. Battery run times of these devices are variable and have not been reported. Different conditions of use can extend battery life in the event of electrical failure. This study was designed to...

EDITORIALS 211 inotropic agents (such as the catecholamines, calcium ions, and digitalis), and paired electrical stimulation. Entropy also increases during congestive heart failure, which may be thought of as an expression of a defect in the utilization of energy, a partial chemicomechanical uncoupling. The entropy of the myocardial cell tends to be reduced by negative inotropic agents, such as...
متن کاملAmrinone, in combination with norepinephrine, is an effective first-line drug for difficult separation from cardiopulmonary bypass.
A crucial element for weaning patients from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) rests on the selection of an appropriate therapeutic regimen. Amrinone, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, combines inotropic support with pulmonary and systemic vasodilatation, without increasing heart rate (HR) or myocardial oxygen consumption. These characteristics should be useful in the failing heart during weaning fr...
متن کاملPatient directed perfusion pressure on bypass, an analogy from electrical engineering--a new concept.
Organ ischemia, particularly mesenteric and renal, can occur despite a seemingly adequate perfusion flow and pressure during a period of cardiopulmonary bypass. The blood pressure to run bypass at remains a contentious issue. We present the concept that perfusion pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass should be patient specific, depending on an individual's resting pre-procedural blood pressure...

Background & Aim: Intra-aortic ballon pump(IABP) is a mechanical device that has become an accepted treatment modality for patients with severely compromised hemodynamics. The present retrospective study was undertaken to identify the major survival and nonsurvival determinants of patients who were in need of intra-aortic ballon pump support after cardiac surgery. Patients & Methods: Th...
