Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional Capacity in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
, 2016
"... Abstract Introduction: Cardiac surgery is a highly complex procedure which generates worsening of lung function and decreased inspiratory muscle strength. The inspiratory muscle training becomes effective for muscle strengthening and can improve functional capacity. Objective: To investigate the ef ..."

the effect of inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity submaximal and inspiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: This is a clinical randomized controlled trial with patients undergoing cardiac surgery at Instituto Nobre de Cardiologia. Patients were divided
The hemostatic management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is a
"... complex issue because there exists the need to maintain a delicate balance betweenanticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and hemostasis after CPB. These two opposing goals must be managed carefully and modified with respect to the patient’s initial hematologic status, specific timing durin ..."

ATIII binding to thrombin. In the absence of ATIII, heparin is clinically ineffective as an anticoagulant, thus adequate ATIII activity is necessary in patients about to undergo heparinization for cardiac surgical procedures [2].Monitoring anticoagulation and hemostasis in cardiac surgery
PERIOPERATIVE IMMUNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CARDIAC SURGERY
"... In this study we evaluated the impact of cardiac surgery on the immune system, particularly on some commonly used laboratory parameters of cellular (CD3, CD3/4, CD3/8, CD3/HLA-DR, CD8/38, CD14/HLA-DR) and humoral immunity (acute-phase C-reactive protein; CRP). Our aim was, by immunological monitorin ..."

Predicting functional decline in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery
"... Background: a growing number of older patients undergo cardiac surgery. Some of these patients are at increased risk of post-operative functional decline, potentially leading to reduced quality of life and autonomy, and other negative health out-comes. First step in prevention is to identify patient ..."

PHARMACOKINETICS OF HIGH-DOSE FENTANYL A study in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
"... The phannacokinetics following a bolus injection of fentanyl 60 (ig kg-1 as the sole anaesthetic in five patients undergoing cardiac surgery are described. Before cardiopulmonary bypass the kinetics can be described by a biexponential decay curve with an initial half-life of 1.7 ± 0.85 min and a hal ..."

Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery in North Indian Population
"... Volume 1 • Issue 7 • 2012 Results A total 100 patients presenting for cardiac surgery were enrolled in the study. The platelet counts in all the patients fell significantly from their preoperative baseline. And a total of 42 patients had significant thrombocytopenia (26 patients had fall of more th ..."

Mild renal dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery as a new risk factor for EuroSCORE
"... Background It has recently been suggested that mild renal dysfunction is associated with increased mortality in cardiac surgery; however, this risk factor is not accounted for in the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE). The aim of the present study was to assess the eff ..."

EDITORIAL COMMENT Red blood transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
, 2014
"... The use of allogeneic red blood cells (RBC) is commonplace in cardiac surgery, with reported transfusion rates ranging from 5 to 90 %. [1–4] Despite advantages, RBC transfusion is associated with well-described adverse outcomes. [1–4] Transfusion of RBCs is not only associated with an increased peri ..."
