Hyperpyrexia Complicating Low Fixed Cardiac Output
Chest, 1977A 41-year-old woman with end-stage mitral and aortic stenosis developed the cycle of low cardiac output, peripheral vasoconstriction, increased core temperature, and cardiac decompensation. This was interrupted by core cooling utilizing iced gastric lavage. We propose that her severe hyperthermia was caused or abetted by her low cardiac output.

Treatment of perioperative low cardiac output syndrome
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995New approaches to the treatment of perioperative low cardiac output are considered. In particular, use of the phosphodiesterase III inhibitors and their cardiovascular actions are reviewed and contrasted with those of conventional inotropic agents.

Low Cardiac Output Syndrome: Identification and Management
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2005Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is a clinical condition that is caused by a transient decrease in systemic perfusion secondary to myocardial dysfunction. The outcome is an imbalance between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption at the cellular level which leads to metabolic acidosis. Although LCOS is observed most commonly in patients after cardiac

Low Cardiac Output Following Cardiac Surgery
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1997Patients often experience low cardiac output following cardiac surgery and as many as 90% of patients experience a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac index (CI). Causes may vary from volume depletion to global myocardial dysfunction.

Peripheral Vasodilators in Low Cardiac Output States
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975Vasodilators such as sodium nitroprusside and phentolamine have been used to reduce the afterload of the damaged and failing heart and increase the cardiac output. Only by understanding the basic physiology and how it may be altered can these agents be used appropriately in the care of the critically ill.

Amrinone in perioperative low cardiac output syndrome
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1990Amrinone has been shown to have a beneficial effect on left ventricular function in low output syndrome (LOS), but its use after open‐heart surgery has not been extensively revised. We studied 10 patients with LOS post‐cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), who failed to respond to conventional treatment (vasoactive drugs plus intraaortic balloon pump) and were

Levosimendan for the Low Cardiac Output Syndrome after Cardiac Surgery
New England Journal of Medicine, 2017The low cardiac output syndrome complicates 1 in 10 coronary bypass operations and is associated with a heightened risk of perioperative death.1 The pathophysiology of this syndrome is complex, with likely contributions from reperfusion injury, systemic inflammation induced by cardiopulmonary bypass, and pulmonary and systemic vasoconstriction.2 ...

Low cardiac output syndrome in children
Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 2005Clinicians caring for critically ill children will commonly encounter low cardiac output states, especially after cardiac surgery. Anticipation and prevention can go some way to reducing morbidity and mortality. This article outlines the causes and assessment of this syndrome.

Thermodilution method overestimates low cardiac output in humans
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1983We compared 57 cardiac output measurements by the thermodilution and Fick methods in 26 patients and found that thermodilution values were higher in all 16 cases in which Fick outputs were less than 3.5 l/min. In 10 cases where Fick values were less than or equal to 2.5 l/min, thermodilution and Fick measurements differed by an average of 35%.

Low cardiac output complicating pericardiectomy for pericardial tamponade
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999Neoplastic involvement of the pericardium resulting in an effusion and subsequent tamponade is an emergency requiring prompt decompression, generally safely accomplished by subxiphoid pericardiectomy. However, the current case report describes a patient with florid pericardial tamponade who underwent surgical decompression with transient hemodynamic ...
