Filter by:Divided into two groups based on acute kidney injury: non-acute kidney injury group vs. non-acute kidney injury group. Acute kidney injury group, Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE), or Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) I would like to divide it according to the definition. After testing the normal distribution of patients, donors, grafts, types of immunosuppressants, surgery/anesthesia factors, and blood test findings between the two groups through the Shapiro-Wilk test, continuous data was tested using the student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Sizes are compared using , and categorical data is compared with proportions using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Analysis of factors related to acute kidney injury will be performed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
This study requires the consecutive enrollment of 60 patients following the first event of acute myocardial infarction, evaluating B-Cell Activating Factor (BAFF) and methylglyoxal (MGO) levels in the acute setting (pre-reperfusion) and 3 months after reperfusion.
Patients with acute hip fractures are old and vulnerable. With a majoriry classified as being ASA 3 or more. Frequently they receive spinal anesthesia perioperatively inducing hypotension. Even a short hypotensive period may induce postop cardiac T roponinT leakage as well as renal failure noted by Changes in Serum Creatinin or Cýstatin C This will be investigated and correlated to intraoperative hypotension as step one. Preliminary this will be followed by an intervention with vasopressor treatment perioperatively to preserve an adequte MABP
This study is to prospectively investigate the cardiac dose-sparing effect and clinical benefit of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique. Patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with breast conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy is enrolled. Radiotherapy is delivered with either free-breathing or deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique. The cardiac dose parameters and cardiac toxicity are prospective evaluated, and the dose-effect relationship is analyzed.
This study evaluates the preoperative cardiovascular risk, the intraoperative hemodynamic characteristics and the surgical photo-plethysmographic index of patients undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac vascular surgery to develop a multiple variable model assessing the risk for postoperative myocardial ischemic events.
Coronary heart disease has a high incidence and high death rate. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an important method for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, PCI may cause myocardial cell injury and myocardial infarction 4 Type(MI4a, Type 4 a myocardial infarction related to PCI). Dexmedetomidine(Dex) is the only anesthetic which has sedative and analgesic effects. Dex currently has been widely used in perioperative management of various surgical.This study intends to verify the effect of heart protection of Dex in perioperative.
The study plans to investigate whether recovery of the heart function after acute anterior myocardial infarction is dependent upon improvement in thyroid gland functioning.
The purpose of the study is to assess the time, dose dependence, and fraction-size dependence of radiation (RT)-induced changes in regional lung and heart perfusion/function/structure following thoracic RT delivered using newer IMRT/conformal/radiosurgery techniques. The PI hopes to develop models to better relate and predict RT-induced changes in regional lung and heart perfusion/function/structure with changes in global cardiopulmonary function. Patients will undergo pre- and serial post-RT lung and heart assessments to better understand RT-induced regional heart/lung changes.
Patients with a cardiac stab wound could be complicated by a posttraumatic acute myocardial infarction (PAMI). Traditionally, the investigators can explain it by the occlusion of a coronary artery; but the PAMI isn´t constantly related with coronary artery injuries or their damage in the cardiac injury repair. The investigators objectives are to know the PAMI incidence, make an approximation to PAMI pathophysiology, and propose management strategies.
Penetrating wounds to the heart may present to the emergency unit with the presence of blood in the pericardial sac as determined on ultrasound. If these patients are stable, the study hypothesis is that they can be managed with a very simple surgical procedure called a subxyphoid pericardial window (SXW), in which the blood is drained from around the heart via a small skin incision below the rib cage. In all other centres in the world these cases are managed by open chest surgery called a sternotomy. The investigator's experience in dealing with these injuries is that this is unnecessary and requires a large amount of resources for no benefit to the patient. In this study, patients are randomized to receive either open chest surgery (sternotomy) or the much smaller operation of the SXW. The patients are then followed up with respect to their hospital stay and any complications that they develop. Normally, a patient undergoing open chest surgery will stay in intensive care unit for a minimum of 2 days and have a total hospital stay of at least 7 days and be at risk of a number of complications such as pneumonia. Patients undergoing a SXW usually remain in hospital for a period of 3 days and do not require intensive care management. The investigator's hypothesis is that in all these patients the heart injury has sealed and the patient is no longer in any danger. It is not necessary to perform open chest surgery on these patients.
