External Counterpulsation in Low Cardiac Output States

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975
External counterpulsation represents a rational extension of the basic principles of counterpulsation as developed over the past 20 years. Its unique properties of being totally noninvasive, free of significant morbidity, and easily and quickly instituted clinically suggest that it may have a significant therapeutic role in the prevention and treatment

Management of Postoperative Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2002
The management of the infant with congenital heart disease is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort that is individualized to each patient. Low cardiac output is frequently seen in the postoperative infant with arrhythmia, preload, afterload, and contractility alterations; it can be a significant complication after open heart surgery. The management

Pathophysiology of Post-Operative Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015
Low cardiac output syndrome frequently complicates the post-operative care of infants and children following cardiac surgery. The onset of low cardiac output follows a predictable course in the hours following cardiopulmonary bypass, as myocardial performance declines in the face of an elevated demand for cardiac output.

Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves at Low Cardiac Output

ASAIO JOURNAL, 1996
Several earlier studies have indicated that bileaflet mechanical heart valves behave irregularly at low cardiac output and low pulse rate conditions, and that their hydrodynamic performances are generally inadequate. The authors conducted in vitro experiments in a pulsatile mock circulatory loop to compare the performance of the St.

Levosimendan for Low Cardiac Output: A Pediatric Experience

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2006
This was a retrospective observational study in a pediatric intensive care unit, in which 19 patients received levosimendan. There were no adverse events attributable to levosimendan and no instances where the clinical condition worsened after administration.

Managing Low Cardiac Output States: Maintaining Volume after Cardiac Surgery

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1993
Low cardiac output after cardiac surgery may be caused by hypovolemia, myocardial depression, vasoconstriction, and dysrhythmias. Postoperative hypovalemia occurs because of blood volume loss and decreased diastolic filling. Diuresis, intravascular fluid shift into the interstitium, hormonal influences, and bleeding deplete blood volume.

PITUITARY‐GONADAL DYSFUNCTION IN LOW‐OUTPUT CARDIAC FAILURE

Clinical Endocrinology, 1979
SUMMARYDiminished cardiac output and digoxin therapy appear to have opposing effects on testosterone, oestradiol and luteinizing hormone concentrations. Depression of the levels of these hormones was significantly correlated with a decrease in cardiac index and elevation was noted by digoxin therapy of long duration.

Phentolamine in low cardiac output states

Critical Care Medicine, 1983
We examined the effect of parenteral phentolamine in 11 critically ill patients with a low cardiac output state and a high systemic resistance. Because vasodilators often affect left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-volume relationships (compliance) in acute cardiac disease, changes in the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (WP) may conceivably not ...

Low Cardiac Output: Pathophysiology and Treatment

1980
Low cardiac output is often the most critical physiologic abnormality in the cardiac surgery patient. The basic thrust of the surgeon should be to prevent low cardiac output by proper preoperative preparation, excellent anesthesia, precise surgery, meticulous myocardial preservation, and proper postoperative care.

Levosimendan Reduces Mortality and Low Cardiac Output Syndrome in Cardiac Surgery

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2019
Abstract Background There has been conflicting evidence concerning the effect of levosimendan on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and conducted this meta-analysis to provide evidence for/against the administration of levosimendan in cardiac surgery patients ...
