Low Cardiac Output Syndrome: Identification and Management

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2005
Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is a clinical condition that is caused by a transient decrease in systemic perfusion secondary to myocardial dysfunction. The outcome is an imbalance between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption at the cellular level which leads to metabolic acidosis. Although LCOS is observed most commonly in patients after cardiac

Treatment of perioperative low cardiac output syndrome

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
New approaches to the treatment of perioperative low cardiac output are considered. In particular, use of the phosphodiesterase III inhibitors and their cardiovascular actions are reviewed and contrasted with those of conventional inotropic agents.

Amrinone in perioperative low cardiac output syndrome

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

Low cardiac output syndrome in children

Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 2005
Clinicians 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.

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.

Levosimendan for the Low Cardiac Output Syndrome after Cardiac Surgery

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
The 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 ...

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 ...
