[Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome due to blunt chest trauma: A case report].

We report a case of a patient with chest trauma (TT) complicated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as ventilatory support. Clinical case: A 48-year-old man, with no relevant history, after a high-energy vehicle collision admitted with severe TT. He evolved with respiratory failure that required intubation and connection to mechanical ventilation (MV).

[Ten-year survival after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting compared with traditional bypass grafting].

Background: Long-term outcomes of Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB) as an alternative to the traditional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) technique with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are not well defined.

Aim: To compare 10-year survival of isolated OPCAB versus CABG with CPB.

Material And Methods: Analysis of information obtained from databases, clinical records and surgical protocols of patients treated with isolated CABG between January 2006 and November 2008 at a Regional Hospital.

[Coronary artery bypass grafting: evolution of coronary disease characteristics and immediate surgical outcomes over a decade].

Introduction: Several factors intervene in the evolution of the characteristics of Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), such as demographic changes, surgical technique, and perioperative care. Our objective was to analyze the evolution of the characteristics of coronary artery disease in patients treated with CABG and its immediate results.

Methods: In an analytical study, we analyzed a cohort of patients with isolated CABG from January 2006 to December 2008 and from January 2016 to December 2018 in Hospital Clínico Regional Concepción, Chile.

[Risk factors associated with 10-year survival after coronary artery bypass grafting].

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the treatment of choice for a broad spectrum of patients with coronary disease.

Aim: To describe global survival and factors associated with lower long-term survival in patients operated with isolated CABG.

Material And Methods: Analysis of a cohort of patients who underwent CABG between January 2006 and December 2008 at a public hospital.

Agreement between the perception of colon cleansing reported by patients and colon cleansing assessed by a validated colon cleansing scale.

Aims: Patients' perception of their cleansing quality can guide strategies to improve cleansing during colonoscopy. There are no studies assessing the agreement between the quality of cleansing perceived by patients and cleansing quality assessed during colonoscopy using validated bowel preparation scales. The main aim of this study was to compare the cleansing quality reported by patients with the quality during colonoscopy using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS).
