Background: Maintaining a low left atrial pressure (LAP) in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is desirable. This study was done to compare the effects of intravenous levosimendan or milrinone on LAP at different stages of OPCAB.
Materials And Methods: After institutional ethics committee clearance, this two-arm double-blind randomized control trial was done in 44 adult patients with triple vessel coronary artery disease undergoing OPCAB at cardiac OT of IPGME&R, Kolkata.
Article Synopsis
- - A Phase 2 randomized control trial was conducted in Kolkata, India, involving 80 severe COVID-19 patients to evaluate the effects of convalescent plasma therapy compared to standard care, focusing on mortality and immune response.
- - Participants were divided into two groups: one received convalescent plasma therapy and the other standard of care, with a primary focus on all-cause mortality within 30 days and secondary outcomes including recovery from ARDS and viral RNA clearance time.
- - Results showed no significant difference in mortality or clinical benefits between the two treatment groups, and no adverse effects were reported from the convalescent plasma therapy.
