Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a common issue after cardiac surgery, and this study investigated how sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) relates to it in patients who haven't been previously diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
- The research evaluated 92 elective cardiac surgery patients, measuring their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) before surgery to assess SDB, and tested for delirium during the first four days after surgery using established methods.
- Results showed a significant difference in preoperative AHI between patients who developed delirium and those who didn’t, revealing that a higher AHI increases the risk of delirium, alongside factors like age and smoking.
Study Objective: To determine and interpret the changes in preload, afterload, and cardiac function in the different phases of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
Design: Prospective, observational monocenter study.
Setting: Operating room at a university hospital.
Background: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the effects and functional outcome of central extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with left ventricular decompression for the treatment of refractory cardiogenic shock and lung failure.
Methods: Between August 2010 and August 2013, 12 consecutive patients (2 female) with a mean age of 31.6 ± 15.
Background: Major surgery might have a modulating effect on nocturnal breathing patterns. The incidence and course of perioperative sleep-disordered breathing in individuals without a previous diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea has not been investigated sufficiently so far.
Methods: In this study, polygraphic recordings have been obtained from 37 inpatients without a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome during the preoperative night before and six nights following major surgical procedures.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, clinical impact and outcome of perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery.
Methods: A data of 1,625 patients undergoing pancreatic resection were prospectively collected and analysed with regard to PMI. Demographic aspects, co-morbidities and clinical course were evaluated.
Introduction: Even among health care professionals, resuscitation performance has been shown to be poor. So far, it remains unclear whether cardiac arrest staff with frequent practice in resuscitation requires training to adapt to the new International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines of 2005. This study evaluated the need for basic life support training in nurses with emergency experience.
