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 ...

Low cardiac output state in a postoperative cardiac patient

2020
Abstract Chapter 13 covers the low cardiac output state (LCOS) in children following cardiac surgery. It begins by explaining how LCOS is defined, risk factors for its development, and how to assess and investigate a child with LCOS.

Postoperative low cardiac output in infancy.

Heart & lung : the journal of critical care, 1983
PLCO can be a devastating and fatal complication after open-heart surgery in infants. Knowledge of the risk factors for the development of PLCO can assist the critical care nurse in anticipating, recognizing, and participating in the treatment of infants who develop this syndrome.
