Peripheral Vasodilators in Low Cardiac Output States
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975Vasodilators such as sodium nitroprusside and phentolamine have been used to reduce the afterload of the damaged and failing heart and increase the cardiac output. Only by understanding the basic physiology and how it may be altered can these agents be used appropriately in the care of the critically ill.

Amrinone in perioperative low cardiac output syndrome
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1990Amrinone has been shown to have a beneficial effect on left ventricular function in low output syndrome (LOS), but its use after openâheart surgery has not been extensively revised. We studied 10 patients with LOS postâcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), who failed to respond to conventional treatment (vasoactive drugs plus intraaortic balloon pump) and were

Levosimendan for the Low Cardiac Output Syndrome after Cardiac Surgery
New England Journal of Medicine, 2017The low cardiac output syndrome complicates 1 in 10 coronary bypass operations and is associated with a heightened risk of perioperative death.1 The pathophysiology of this syndrome is complex, with likely contributions from reperfusion injury, systemic inflammation induced by cardiopulmonary bypass, and pulmonary and systemic vasoconstriction.2 ...

Phentolamine in low cardiac output states
Critical Care Medicine, 1983We 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 Following Cardiac Surgery
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1997Patients often experience low cardiac output following cardiac surgery and as many as 90% of patients experience a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac index (CI). Causes may vary from volume depletion to global myocardial dysfunction.

External Counterpulsation in Low Cardiac Output States
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975External counterpulsation represents a rational extension of the basic principles of counterpulsation as developed over the past 20 years. Its unique properties of being totally noninvasive, free of significant morbidity, and easily and quickly instituted clinically suggest that it may have a significant therapeutic role in the prevention and treatment

Low cardiac output state in a postoperative cardiac patient
2020Abstract 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.

Low cardiac output syndrome in children
Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 2005Clinicians caring for critically ill children will commonly encounter low cardiac output states, especially after cardiac surgery. Anticipation and prevention can go some way to reducing morbidity and mortality. This article outlines the causes and assessment of this syndrome.

Management of Postoperative Low Cardiac Output Syndrome
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2002The management of the infant with congenital heart disease is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort that is individualized to each patient. Low cardiac output is frequently seen in the postoperative infant with arrhythmia, preload, afterload, and contractility alterations; it can be a significant complication after open heart surgery. The management

American Journal of Critical Care, 1999
BACKGROUND: The reliability of cardiac output obtained with the bolus technique is a problem. OBJECTIVES: To compare measurements of cardiac output measured with bolus and continuous techniques in patients with low cardiac output and to determine if measurements obtained with the continuous technique increased the number of subsequent clinical ...
