Combined cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians: operative outcome [PDF]

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2008
The number of patients with an indication for cardiac surgery in their ninth decade of life is increasing. This study analyses the single-center results with combined and redo cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians retrospectively.Three groups were evaluated: (I) Two hundred and thirty six patients with combined cardiac surgical procedures, mean ...

Cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.

Archives of internal medicine, 1987
To the Editor. —In the November 1986 issue of theArchives, Detsky et al 1 presented a modified version of the index of Goldman et al 2 of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures. In both these studies, a multifactorial risk index is derived using stepwise linear discriminant analysis.

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

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

Cardiac Risk in Noncardiac Surgical Procedures-Reply

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1987
—Hochman and Lumb have raised an important point concerning the stability of likelihood ratios across various surgical procedures. Likelihood ratios, like the related properties of sensitivity and specificity, are usually assumed to be stable across populations with different pretest probabilities.

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 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 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 ...
