A cross-cultural comparison of the roles of emotional intelligence, metacognition, and negative coping for health-related quality of life in German versus Pakistani patients with chronic heart failure.

Objectives: Low emotional intelligence (EI) may predispose individuals to applying maladaptive coping strategies. This may maintain anxious worrying, which is highly prevalent in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and may affect mental (MCS) and physical component summaries (PCS) of health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Design: The current study is a cross-sectional and cross-cultural survey.

Methods: This randomized control trial was conducted in the department of anesthesia and critical care Choudhary Pervaiz Ellahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from November 2016 to June 2017. All collected data was entered and analyzed by using computer software SPSS version 23.

Incidence and risk factors of Pulmonary Complications after Cardiopulmonary bypass.

Objective: To determine the frequency of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after cardio-pulmonary bypass and association of pre-operative and intraoperative risk factors with incidence of PPCs.

Methods: This study was an observational analysis of five hundred and seventeen (517) patients who underwent cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Incidence of PPCs and risk factors of PPCs were noted.

Myocardial protection with Glucose-Insulin-Potassium infusion during adult cardiac surgery.

Background & Objective: Recent meta-analysis reports have called for more randomized trials to evaluate the effectiveness of GIK solution in patients of cardiac surgery. So this study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) solutions in non-diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: A total number of one hundred and sixty (160) patients were randomized into two equal groups; GIK Group and non-GIK group.

Peripheral arterial blood pressure versus central crterial blood pressure monitoring in critically ill patients after Cardio-pulmonary Bypass.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of peripheral (radial) arterial access as compared to central (femoral) arterial access for measurement of invasive blood pressure (IBP) in critically ill patients after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Methods: Sixty patients (60) who required high inotropic/vasopressor support on weaning from cardio-pulmonary bypass and weaned off in 2 attempt were included in this study. The duration of this study was from June 2015 to August 2016.
