Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the Vasoactive-ventilation-renal (VVR) score in predicting early postoperative outcomes for adults undergoing mitral valve surgery.
- Conducted on 100 patients, it monitored various preoperative and postoperative variables, including vasoactive-inotropic score and Ambler score, to analyze ICU and hospital stay lengths and mortality rates.
- Findings suggest that the VVR score, particularly at 48 hours post-surgery, is a valuable predictor for early outcomes after the procedure.
Aims And Objectives: The incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction is high in patients undergoing double-valve replacement - mitral and aortic valve replacement (DVR). This study aims to evaluate N-acetylcysteine's free radical scavenging property (NAC) to prevent postoperative liver dysfunction in these patients, thus affecting overall clinical outcomes.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded interventional study of 60 patients divided into two groups of 30 each.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare efficacy and safety of paravertebral block (PVB) and interpleural analgesia (IPA) after minimally invasive cardiac surgery through thoracotomy in terms of quality of analgesia, post-operative mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS) and complications.
Design: A randomized, prospective study.
Participants: A total of 50 adult patients (18-50 years old) undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery via thoracotomy.

The ideal drug and route for sedation in children should have a rapid and reliable onset, atraumatic, palatable with minimal side effects, and rapid recovery. So, the aim of our study to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of intranasal midazolam and intranasal dexmedetomidine in pediatric patients for sedation during TTE.
