Management of Hemorrhage in Cardiothoracic Surgery
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2013Bleeding is an important issue in cardiothoracic surgery, and about 20% of all blood products are transfused in this clinical setting worldwide. Transfusion practices, however, are highly variable among different hospitals and more than 25% of allogeneic blood transfusions have been considered inappropriate.

HEURISTICS IN CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2008Cardiothoracic surgical operations are complex procedures. Involved are an enormous number of steps that need to be carried out consistently, accurately (as the margin for error in cardiothoracic surgery is small) and in a time‐efficient manner – thus the need for repetition in their performance to achieve excellence.

WOUND INFECTION IN CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY
The Lancet, 1983The incidence of wound inflammation and infection for ten days after routine cardiothoracic operations was monitored in 454 patients having routine open-heart surgery (179), thoracotomy (100), or coronary artery bypass surgery (175). The percentage incidence of inflammation/infection for intracardiac operations was 12/2.3, for thoracotomies 12/1, and ...

Hypophosphatemia after cardiothoracic surgery
Intensive Care Medicine, 1985The incidence of hypophosphatemia during the first 48 h following cardiothoracic surgery was prospectively studied in 74 patients. Hypophosphatemia, defined by a serum phosphate below 2.50 mg/dl, was observed in 19 of 34 (56%) patients after thoracic surgery and in 20 of 40 (50%) patients after cardiac surgery.

Sepsis in cardiothoracic surgery
SurgerySepsis is a life-changing condition that can occur in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. It is characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection, often leading to higher rates of organ dysfunction and mortality. The importance of early recognition and prompt intervention in managing sepsis-related complications in ...
