MULTIFACTORIAL INDEX OF CARDIAC RISK IN NONCARDIAC SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977
To determine which preoperative factors might affect the development of cardiac complications after major noncardiac operations, we prospectively studied 1001 patients over 40 years of age. By multivariate discriminant analysis, we identified nine independent significant correlates of life-threatening and fatal cardiac complications: preoperative third

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.

Digital video recording of cardiac surgical procedures

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
We attempted to find a method of reducing time and effort for recording videos of cardiac surgical procedures.A camera mounting arm designed by us provided a properly fixed digital camera location for undisturbed recording. The camera and its remote control unit provided an opportunity for the surgeon to record only the steps of the operation without ...

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

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 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.
