  4. 2. Levosimendan vs. Milrinone: Early Renal and Hemodynamic Outcomes after lnfant Cardiac Surgery

    Author : Elin M. Thorlacius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac surgery; infants; congenital heart lesions; levosimendan; milrinone; acute kidney injury; myocardial function; biomarkers;

    Abstract : Background: Myocardial and renal dysfunction are common after cardiac surgery in young children, which increases risk of complications and delayed recovery. Inodilators, such as milrinone and levosimendan, are frequently used to reduce the risk of low cardiac output syndrome in infants after cardiac surgery. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of pediatric hemodynamics. A study of young children undergoing corrective heart surgery

    Author : Theódór Sigurdsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac output; Heart surgery; Hemodynamics; Intracardiac shunt; Volume estimation; Young children;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Assessing critically ill patients is demanding because their clinical signs are not always easy to interpret. This is particularly true for pediatric patients, due to their small size and robust circulatory compensatorymechanism. READ MORE

  6. 4. Early childhood thymectomy - impact on immune function

    Author : Judith Gudmundsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunologi; Thymus; Pediatric cardiac surgery; Congenital heart defect;

    Abstract : Introduction: The thymus is the site of T cell maturation. Children born with a congenital heart defect often endure surgery early in life, and during surgery their thymus is routinely removed, as it blocks the surgeons access to the heart. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cerebral perfusion in cardiac surgery : with special reference to circulatory arrest during profound hypothermia

    Author : Rafael Astudillo Ley; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac surgery; hypothermia; circulatory arrest; cardiopulmonary bypass; cerebral blood flow; cerebral metabolism; cerebral oxygen consuption; cerebral lactate; retograde crebral perfusion; transcranial Doppler; S-100B;

    Abstract : Thirty-nine pediatric and 82 adult patients were studied during cardiac surgery with cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) performed with moderate hypothermia or with deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest (DHCA) with or-without retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP). Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was estimated from Doppler measurements of the blood velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAv). READ MORE
