base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status. aim of this study is to assess relationship between the base deficit value in immediate post operative period of cabg and valvular heart disease with cardiopulmonary and in hospital outcome of patient. a total of 136 consecutive with cabg and valvular heart disease scheduled in study. 20 variables were determined during the pre-in...

abstarct background: base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status that evaluates the severity of shock at the cellular level. base deficit results from cellular metabolism of pyruvate under anaerobic conditions. in this situation, base deficit is a sensitive marker of the magnitude of anaerobic metabolism and tissue oxygen deficit [1]. several studies have shown a strong posi...

background the prevalence of chronic postoperative pain after cardiac surgery has been reported from 17% to 56%. objectives we aimed to compare the prevalence of postoperative pain between patients who had undergone cabg using the internal mammary artery (ima) and those who had undergone other cardiac surgeries including cabg using the saphenous vein or cardiac valvular surgeries. patients and ...

Yes – death directly due to anaesthesia is less than 1 in a few hundred thousand. However 30 day mortality and morbidity following surgery is common and much of it is cardiac. Worldwide more than 200 million adults have major non-cardiac surgical procedures annually. Millions of these patients will have a major vascular complication (vascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], nonfatal...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that pmv predictors could be specific for each center and a good administration program is needed for each pediatric cardiac surgery center for the preoperative management of patients undergoing congenital heart surgeries. results a total of 300 patients, 56.7% male, were enrolled in this study. their mean age was 32 ± 40 months .the median durati...

this research is a field study designed to-investigate the complication of patients, who underwent heart valve   surgery and were hospitalized in intensive care unit.   in this research, the field files of those patient who had undergone surgical heart valve operation and were   hospitalized in intensive care units in 1992, have been selected as general research documents.   from the point of t...
