[Acute postoperative pulmonary edema in the coronary patient: effects of myocardial ischemia].

In order to evaluate the incidence of myocardial ischaemia in patients who developed acute pulmonary oedema during the immediate post-operative period, continuous monitoring of the electrocardiogram by the Holter method was used in 200 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease. Fourteen of these patients exhibited ST segment depression during the post-operative period and 13 during surgery. Nine patients developed acute pulmonary oedema immediately after the operation and in 7 cases the oedema was preceded by myocardial ischaemia.

[Clinical use of vecuronium during celioscopy].

In order to determine if vecuronium can be used for short operations, 40 women were studied during laparoscopy, randomly assigned to four groups: suxamethonium 1 mg X kg-1 in a single bolus followed by an infusion (group A), vecuronium 0.05 mg X kg-1 (group B), vecuronium 0.06 mg X kg-1 (group C) and vecuronium 0.

[Myocardial ischemia and carotid surgery. Holter study of 21 severe coronary patients. Preventive effect of intravenous trinitrin].

Cervical carotid artery surgery is increasingly being performed in elderly, polyvascular, high risk patients, some of whom have severe coronary artery disease. Is this right? The effects of this almost routine surgical procedure from the technical point of view were analysed with respect to the coronary lesions. 1.

Clinical predictors of intraoperative myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

In order to detect the incidence of myocardial ischemia during the perioperative period and to determine during which situation it occurred, continuous monitoring of the electrocardiogram by the Holter method was used in 51 patients with coronary artery disease who were undergoing a vascular surgical procedure. Clinical parameters measured preoperatively were evaluated as predictors of the occurrence of myocardial ischemia during the perioperative period. Twenty of 51 patients demonstrated 36 episodes of myocardial ischemia, which started in 11 cases during induction.
