Development of a median sternotomy simulation model for cardiac surgery trainingCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques, 2020
Objective: We sought to develop a simulation model to train resident physicians in the performance of a median sternotomy. Methods: A modified Delphi consensus process was used with cardiac surgery staff to develop a 20-point checklist for the safe ...

First Report on Atrial Leadless Pacing in an Extra‐Cardiac Fontan Patient

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract No reports on atrial leadless pacing have been demonstrated in patients with the extra‐cardiac Fontan palliation. We present a case of a patient with an extra‐cardiac Fontan and an alternative to pacing for symptomatic bradycardia in the setting of sinus node dysfunction.

Efficacy of ultrasound-guided, single-level, pectointercostal facial block (PIFB) for postoperative analgesia after sternotomy in paediatric cardiac surgery: A randomised controlled trial

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: Children undergoing median sternotomy often face moderate to severe postoperative discomfort, along with various other complications. Under ultrasound guidance, a pectointercostal fascial block (PIFB) might relieve this pain.

Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature lead to increased resistive, elastic and threshold loads and impaired capacity of the respiratory muscle pump. COPD

Ministernotomy in myocardial revascularization preserves postoperative pulmonary function [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the need to perform a midsternotomy has been considered a factor for the decrease in postoperative pulmonary function.

Strain‐based characterization of atrioventricular and left atrial remodelling in rat models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current experimental models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) lack standardized approaches for evaluating left atrial (LA) remodelling and atrioventricular (AV) coupling, leaving a critical gap in mechanistic understanding and phenotypic characterization. This study aimed to explore LA function and AV coupling status in

Postoperative rescue closure of patent foramen ovale in the clinical setting of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and stroke following coronary artery bypass surgery

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
We describe a case of intraoperative diagnosis and successful deferred percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the clinical setting of acute refractory hypoxemic respiratory failure and new-onset ischemic stroke in an elderly patient ...
