Background: Complications following the Fontan procedure include prolonged pleural drainage and readmission for effusions. To address these complications, a post-Fontan management pathway was implemented with primary goals of reducing chest tube duration/reinsertion rates and decreasing hospital length of stay and readmissions.
Methods: Fontan patients were identified by retrospective chart review (2017-2019) to obtain baseline data for chest tube duration/reinsertion rates, hospital length of stay, and readmission rates for effusion.
Article Synopsis
- Identifying and treating pediatric arrhythmias is crucial for anesthesiologists, as these conditions can often emerge during anesthesia without prior ECG data, with supraventricular tachycardia being the most prevalent type.
- * Patients with inherited heart conditions, such as channelopathies or cardiomyopathies, are more vulnerable to arrhythmias, which can be triggered by events like intubation or surgery.
- * Treatment options include intravenous antiarrhythmics, as common Valsalva maneuvers are often ineffective, and there are significant risks associated with conditions like Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome that can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias.*
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of peripheral intravenous waveform analysis (PIVA) in detecting small amounts of blood loss during surgery, specifically focusing on a 2% blood volume loss in rats.
- Researchers monitored various cardiovascular indicators in male Sprague Dawley rats as blood was removed gradually, analyzing changes in the peripheral intravenous pressure waveform using MATLAB.
- Results showed a significant decrease in the first fundamental frequency (F1) of the venous waveform after minimal blood loss, indicating that PIVA can be a sensitive tool for detecting early hemorrhage compared to other traditional methods.
Background: Peripheral intravenous analysis (PIVA) has been shown to be more sensitive than central venous pressure (CVP) for detecting hemorrhage and volume overload. We hypothesized that PIVA is superior to CVP for detecting right ventricular (RV) failure in a rat model of respiratory arrest.
Methods: Eight Wistar rats were studied in accordance with the ARRIVE guidelines.
