ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY IN CARDIAC SURGERY
Survey of Anesthesiology, 1960Abstract The value of the electroencephalogram as an anesthetic and clinical tool in cardiac surgery is established. The electroencephalogram is a dependable and sensitive monitor of brain oxygen supply. This paper describes electroencephalographic alterations due to cardiac manipulation (without heart-lung bypass), heart-lung bypass and hypothermia.

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006
Aprotinin is a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor that is being used with increasing frequency in cardiac surgery and beyond to reduce blood loss and the need for perioperative blood transfusion. Through inhibition of serine proteases such as plasmin, aprotinin significantly reduces fibrinolysis, thereby aiding hemostasis during surgical ...

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000
Myxomas, particularly left-atrial myxomas, are the most common primary tumors of the heart that cardiac surgeons will be called upon to remove. Although some tumors are discovered incidentally during echocardiographic examination, many produce symptoms caused by the release of inflammatory cytokines, obstruction to intracardiac blood flow, and/or ...

Cardiac Surgery for Arrhythmias
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2004Cardiac arrhythmia surgery was initiated in 1968 with the first successful division of an accessory AV connection for the Wolff‐Parkinson‐White syndrome. Subsequent surgical procedures included the left atrial isolation procedure and right atrial isolation procedure for automatic atrial tachycardias, discrete cryosurgery of the AV node for AV nodal ...

Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal, 2009
We present a short discussion of the literature concerning institutional volume and outcomes for congenital heart surgery. Although there are limitations to some of the studies discussed, all published studies conclude that higher volumes are associated with better outcomes. We then reflect on some of the arguments that can be made in favour of greater

Triiodothyronine in Cardiac Surgery
Thyroid, 1997Thyroid hormones have profound cardiovascular effects. Chronic hypothyroidism is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities that include diminished cardiac output and increased systemic vascular resistance. Acute hypothyroidism, frequently referred to as the "euthyroid sick syndrome," is present in diverse clinical situations such as brain death ...
