Volatile Anesthetic Preconditioning Modulates Oxidative Stress and Nitric Oxide in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Volatile anesthetics, isoflurane and sevoflurane modulate oxidative and nitrosative stress during CABG. Between the two pre-conditioning agents, isoflurane seems to provide better protection during the pre-bypass period, while sevoflurane provides protection during both pre- as well as post-bypass period.
An Unusual Cause of Heparin Resistance – A Case Report
We report a case of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect with PIL with altered heparin response. Such an association of PIL with altered heparin response in CHD has not been reported in literature.
Cefazolin Prophylaxis in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with the Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Is the Dosing Correct?
Direct extrapolation of antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations from adults to children may result in suboptimal antibiotic concentrations. An additional cefazolin dose to ECC priming appears necessary and the dosing should be based on ECC priming volume rather than on the weight of the patient.
