Levosimendan Reduces Mortality and Low Cardiac Output Syndrome in Cardiac Surgery

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2019
Abstract Background There has been conflicting evidence concerning the effect of levosimendan on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and conducted this meta-analysis to provide evidence for/against the administration of levosimendan in cardiac surgery patients ...

Thermodilution method overestimates low cardiac output in humans

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1983
We compared 57 cardiac output measurements by the thermodilution and Fick methods in 26 patients and found that thermodilution values were higher in all 16 cases in which Fick outputs were less than 3.5 l/min. In 10 cases where Fick values were less than or equal to 2.5 l/min, thermodilution and Fick measurements differed by an average of 35%.

Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves at Low Cardiac Output

ASAIO JOURNAL, 1996
Several earlier studies have indicated that bileaflet mechanical heart valves behave irregularly at low cardiac output and low pulse rate conditions, and that their hydrodynamic performances are generally inadequate. The authors conducted in vitro experiments in a pulsatile mock circulatory loop to compare the performance of the St.

Low cardiac output complicating pericardiectomy for pericardial tamponade

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
Neoplastic involvement of the pericardium resulting in an effusion and subsequent tamponade is an emergency requiring prompt decompression, generally safely accomplished by subxiphoid pericardiectomy. However, the current case report describes a patient with florid pericardial tamponade who underwent surgical decompression with transient hemodynamic ...

Pathophysiology of Post-Operative Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015
Low cardiac output syndrome frequently complicates the post-operative care of infants and children following cardiac surgery. The onset of low cardiac output follows a predictable course in the hours following cardiopulmonary bypass, as myocardial performance declines in the face of an elevated demand for cardiac output.

PITUITARY‐GONADAL DYSFUNCTION IN LOW‐OUTPUT CARDIAC FAILURE

Clinical Endocrinology, 1979
SUMMARYDiminished cardiac output and digoxin therapy appear to have opposing effects on testosterone, oestradiol and luteinizing hormone concentrations. Depression of the levels of these hormones was significantly correlated with a decrease in cardiac index and elevation was noted by digoxin therapy of long duration.

Low Cardiac Output: Pathophysiology and Treatment

1980
Low cardiac output is often the most critical physiologic abnormality in the cardiac surgery patient. The basic thrust of the surgeon should be to prevent low cardiac output by proper preoperative preparation, excellent anesthesia, precise surgery, meticulous myocardial preservation, and proper postoperative care.

Postoperative low cardiac output in infancy.

Heart & lung : the journal of critical care, 1983
PLCO can be a devastating and fatal complication after open-heart surgery in infants. Knowledge of the risk factors for the development of PLCO can assist the critical care nurse in anticipating, recognizing, and participating in the treatment of infants who develop this syndrome.
