Impact of staff turnover during cardiac surgical procedures

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
The impact of staff turnover during cardiac procedures is unknown. Accurate inventory of sharps (needles/blades) requires attention by surgical teams, and sharp count errors result in delays, can lead to retained foreign objects, and may signify communication breakdown.

Nursing Responsibility Levek for Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1990
Nursing liability is an issue discussed regularly by both critical care staff nurses and nursing managers. Questions frequently arise regarding practice within the "gray area" of critical care. The high level of patient acuity often necessitates an expanded nursing role.

Predictors of ARF after cardiac surgical procedures

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2003
In a pilot study, a low preoperative serum ferritin level predicted increased risk for acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiopulmonary bypass. It was hypothesized that this may reflect a decreased ability to bind free iron and defend against oxidative stress. However, the pilot study was performed in a small number of patients (n = 30) operated on by a

Aortic Assessment for Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
Aortic atheromatous disease is associated with stroke in both the ambulatory and perioperative setting. In addition to atheromatous deposits, a reduction in the compliance of the aorta takes place as elastin fibers are replaced by collagen fibers. Both of these distinct processes, termed atherosclerosis, can easily be measured using transesophageal ...

Cardiac Surgical Procedures Following Myocardial Infarction

Cardiology Clinics, 1995
Advances in myocardial preservation have made possible operative intervention early post-myocardial infarction or in the face of an evolving myocardial infarction. Results are dictated by preoperative factors primarily related to the ravages of low flow state. Resuscitation of the myocardium is possible under the vast majority of circumstances.

A Risk-Benefit Assessment of Aprotinin in Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Drug Safety, 1998
Aprotinin, a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor, has found widespread application during cardiac surgical procedures as a consequence of its ability to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements. While its efficacy in a variety of clinical situations associated with increased risk of blood loss has been well established, at the same ...

Variables predicting reintubation after cardiac surgical procedures

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
This study sought to determine patient characteristics, processes of care, and intermediate outcomes as predictors of reintubation after cardiac surgical procedures.We performed a retrospective case-control study that included all patients undergoing cardiac surgical intervention who required reintubation and an equal number of control patients not ...

Cardiac Surgical Procedures in Patients with Cirrhosis

2017
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in patients with cirrhosis. Child–Pugh (CP) classification and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score help stratify risk in patients who need cardiac surgery.

A-Type and B-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2004
This study was performed to determine the secretion pattern and prognostic value of A-type (ANP) and B-type (BNP) natriuretic peptide in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures. We measured ANP and BNP in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with (n = 28) or without (n = 32) ventricular dysfunction and in patients ...
