Introduction: Postoperative atrial fibrillation is a frequent complication after coronary artery bypass grafting and is associated with increased mortality. The effects of various drugs on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation have been studied, but no one has looked into the effect of silymarin on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Methods: This prospective experimental study included 160 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Objective: Caudal block is a type of regional anesthesia suitable for inguinal hernia surgery in children. Our goal was to determine the effectiveness of caudal block combined with general anesthesia in providing intra- and postoperative analgesia and its effect on hemodynamic stability and drug consumption.
Patients And Methods: Prospective, randomized controlled study included 78 boys, 3-5 years, with an indication for inguinal herniorrhaphy, divided into groups G (general anesthesia, n=39) and G+C (general anesthesia + caudal block, n=39).
Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the clinical effects of sedation with dexmedetomidine vs. propofol in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and analyze their effects on the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and total hospital stay.
Patients And Methods: The study included 120 patients who were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two groups of 60 patients.
Article Synopsis
- Decreased physical activity increases cardiovascular risks for people living with HIV (PLHIV), leading to issues like endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis.
- A study measured flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in 38 PLHIV and assessed their physical activity levels using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
- Results showed a significant link between regular physical activity and improved endothelial function, indicating that exercise is a beneficial and cost-effective way to enhance cardiovascular health for PLHIV.
Objective: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation (EI) often provoke a marked sympathetic response, which leads to tachycardia and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different doses of remifentanil on the cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and EI.
Patients And Methods: 100 patients were included in this randomized study.
Introduction: Masses inside the heart can cause serious and life-threatening effects to the cardiovascular system, mainly because of hemodynamic obstruction of the blood flow, either in the heart cavities themselves or remotely due to embolization. In this paper, we report a case of left ventricular tumor mass which presented with neurological symptoms due to multiple brain embolism.
Case Report: A 35-year-old female patient presented with right hemiparesis and dysarthria.
