Abstract Dear Editor, The timely liberation of cardiogenic shock (CS) patients from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is crucial to reduce device complications, although the predictor of weaning is..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) is used to treat refractory lung failure, a condition that often results in right ventricular dysfunction, which can exacerbate both morbidity and mortality...
Read MoreAbstract Perioperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) remains a significant complication in adult cardiac surgery, contributing to substantial morbidity, prolonged intensive care, and increased mortality. Its incidence is expected to..
Read MoreAbstract PROFOUND HYPOTENSION AND end-organ hypoperfusion are most often the consequence of inadequate systemic blood flow from primary cardiac failure (cardiogenic shock) or hemorrhage (hemorrhagic shock). However, profound hypotension may..
Read MoreAbstract Background As the burden of cardiovascular disease grows, so does the number of cardiac surgeries. Surgery is increasingly performed on older people with comorbidities who are at higher risk..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Continuous cardiac output monitoring is not standard practice during cardiac surgery, even though patients are at substantial risk for systemic hypoperfusion. Thus, the frequency of low cardiac output..
Read MoreAbstract Thermodilution methods to determine cardiac output (CO) may be affected by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We compared CO estimations by pulmonary arterial thermodilution using a pulmonary arterial catheter..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA) uses integration of the systolic area of a distally transmitted aortic pulse as well as arterial stiffness estimates to compute cardiac output. We sought..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Cardiac output (CO) is a key determinant of oxygen delivery. Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) causes organ dysfunction, prolonged hospital stay, and reduces survival in perioperative settings and..
Read MoreAbstract The current evidence suggests that the healthy heart does not sense the optimal cardiac output (Q̇) because the different organ systems that influence cardiac function do not interact to..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To test the clinical performance of a novel continuous noninvasive cardiac output (CO) monitoring based on expired carbon dioxide kinetics in cardiac surgery patients. Design A prospective feasibility..
Read MoreAbstract The contribution of veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to systemic oxygen delivery is determined by the ratio of total extracorporeal blood flow (Q˙EC) to cardiac output (Q˙). Thermodilution-based..
Read MoreEn este video voy a hablar del gasto cardiaco y como obtenerlo por medio del ecocardiograma. In this video I am going to talk about the cardiac output and how..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: The contribution of fluid temperature to the effect of crystalloid fluid bolus therapy (FBT) in post-cardiac surgery patients is unknown. We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of FBT with..
Read MoreAbstract The relevance of right atrial pressure (RAP) as the backpressure for venous return (QVR) and mean systemic filling pressure as upstream pressure is controversial during dynamic changes of circulation...
Read MoreAbstract are a heterogenous group of drugs that modify calcium handling and alter the force of . , and their synthetic analogues, increase by activating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or (IP3). block , which in turn..
