Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the prevalence of intraoperative cardiac arrests and the 30-day survival rate in a teaching hospital over one year.
- A total of 52 cases of cardiac arrest occurred out of 40,379 anesthetic procedures, with a frequency of 13 per 10,000 procedures; 69% had spontaneous circulation return, but only 25% survived for 30 days.
- Factors like higher ASA physical status, emergency surgery, and specific causes of arrest were linked to lower survival rates, indicating a need for better outcomes in critical patients.
Background And Objectives: Since neurological injuries are very concerning and important postoperative complications following cardiac surgeries, the purpose of this study was to discuss the pathophysiology of these injuries, what measures can be taken to decrease their incidence and the possible genetic origin of such brain injuries.
Contents: This study is a review of papers which address the pathophysiology of heart surgery-related neurological injuries and their possible genetic origin, as well as some proposals for their prevention.
Conclusions: A lot has been said about cognitive function disorders after heart surgeries, such as myocardial revascularization, which are present causes of increased morbidity and mortality, in addition to longer hospital stay.
