Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and hemodynamic function in cardiac disease.
1993
Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide were measured in eight patients with cardiac disease but normal resting right atrial pressure, during cardiac catheterization. No patient had clinical evidence of overt heart failure. An increase in peptide concentrations was observed between the aorta or the peripheral vein and the pulmonary artery. A linear relation was found between peripheral vein and pulmonary artery peptide concentration. Mean pulmonary artery and capillary wedge pressure also correlated with the peptide levels. No correlation was observed between mean right atrial pressure and peptide concentration. These findings demonstrate that atrial natriuretic peptide release,…

Prognostic significance of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference during the first 24 hours of septic shock in patients with and withou…
2017
IF 6.238; International audience; Objective: To investigate the prognostic significance of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (cv-art CO2 gap) during septic shock in patients with and without impaired cardiac function.Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study in 10 French intensive care units. Patients suffering from septic shock were assigned to the impaired cardiac function group (‘cardiac group’, n=123) if they had atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 0.9 kPa at 12 h had a higher risk of day 28 mortality (hazard ratio=3.18; P=0.0049). Among the 59 patients in the cardiac group with mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65 mm Hg, centr…
Effects of Fenoldopam on Intracranial Pressure and Hemodynamic Variables at Normal and Elevated Intracranial Pressure in Anesthetized Pigs
1994
Fenoldopam (FE), a dopamine DA1-receptor agonist, has been introduced for treatment of arterial hypertension and heart failure and for preservation of renal function. Vasodilators are generally assumed to affect all vascular beds including the cerebral circulation. We have evaluated effects of FE-induced (4 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) arterial hypotension on intracranial pressure (ICP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) under conditions of normal and increased intracranial elastance. ICP and IOP responses to hypertension were tested by infusion of angiotensin II (15 micrograms.kg-1.min-1), and the response to hypercapnia was tested by elimination and reintegration of soda lime canisters in the breat…
Early albumin infusion improves global and local hemodynamics and reduces inflammatory response in hemorrhagic shock.
2002
Objective To evaluate the effects of an early, short-term albumin infusion on mesenteric microcirculation and global hemodynamics in hemorrhagic shock. Design A prospective, randomized study. Setting Animal laboratory at a university medical clinic. Subjects Seventeen Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250–400 g. Interventions The rats underwent median laparotomy and exteriorization of an ileal loop for intravital microscopy of the mesenteric microcirculation. Volume-controlled hemorrhagic shock was provoked by arterial blood withdrawal (2.5 mL/100 g body weight for 60 mins), followed by a 4-hr reperfusion period. Albumin (20%) or 0.9% NaCl was administered intravenously as a continuous infusion …
Effect of Haemodynamic Changes on Epithelium-related Intestinal Injury in Off-pump Coronary Surgery
2014
Intestinal injury is thought to play a central role in the occurrence of multiorgan dysfunction after on-pump coronary surgery. Clinical benefits of off-pump revascularisation remain, however, controversial.Hepatic enzymes and plasmatic IL-6, IL-8 and intestinal-type fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) were determined in 20 patients (age 65-75) undergoing either on-pump (n = 10) or off-pump (n = 10) coronary surgery. Haemodynamic and biochemical parameters, catecholamine and volume therapy were monitored.Central venous pressure (CVP) was significantly higher in the off-pump group during and 12h after operation (9.5 ± 1.35 vs. 6.21 ± 0.63 mmH2O, p = 0.012). Higher GGT and GLDH levels occurre…
Anti-Inflammatory Treatment with Standardized Human Serum Protein Solution Reduces Local and Systemic Inflammatory Response after Hemorrhagic Shock
2005
<i>Objective:</i> Reperfusion after hemorrhagic shock leads to local and systemic inflammatory response. This study evaluates the effect of a short-term treatment with standardized human serum protein solution (SPS) on the local and systemic inflammatory response in the mesenteric microcirculation in the rat. <i>Methods:</i> Spontaneously breathing animals underwent median laparotomy and exteriorization of an ileal loop for intravital microscopy of the mesenteric microcirculation. Volume-controlled hemorrhagic shock was set by arterial blood withdrawal (2.5 ml/100 g body weight for 60 min), followed by reperfusion for 4 h. SPS (n = 10) or saline 0.9% (controls, n = 1…
Fluid therapy in non-septic, refractory acute decompensated heart failure patients – The cautious role of central venous pressure
2019
Purpose Fluid therapy in congestive acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients might be inappropriate and worsening the prognosis. The aim of our study was to analyze the effect of fluid administration on mortality in non-septic, ADHF patients with reduced ejection fraction. Material and methods We analyzed 41 ADHF consecutive ‘cold-wet’ patients (mean age 69.3 ± 14.9 years, 27 men, LVEF 22.8 ± 11.1%, lactates 2.2 ± 1.6 mmol/L) without sepsis. At admission central venous pressure (CVP) was measured (17.6 ± 7.2 cm H2O), and ultrasound examination of inferior vena cava (IVC) was performed (IVC min. 18.6 ± 7.3 mm and IVC max. 24.6 ± 4.3 mm). Moreover, the groups were compared (survivors…
The influence of Albunex on the pulmonary circulation in patients with pulmonary hypertension or left heart failure.
1996
To determine the safety of the ultrasound contrast agent Albunex, its influence on right and left heart haemodynamics in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension or left heart failure was assessed after intravenous injection. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction smaller than 40% or a systolic pulmonary artery pressure greater than 40 mmHg received 0.08 and 0.22 ml.kg -1 Albunex and 10 ml albumin in random order during right heart catheterization and transthoracic echocardiography. Right atrial, systolic and diastolic pulmonary artery and capillary wedge pressures were measured at 3 min and 5 min and cardiac output at 5 min after the intravenous injection of Albunex and cont…
Evaluation of gastric intramucosal pH during and after pediatric cardiac surgery.
1997
Objectives: In adult patients, intramucosal pH (pHi) has been advocated to detect postoperative complications. The purpose of our study was to evaluate this technique in pediatric patients during and after cardiac surgery. Methods: Thirty-five infants (age: 5 days to 15 years, median 1.8 years; and weight: 3.2‐32 kg, median 9.8 kg) were studied. pHi was measured before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), after 30 min of CPB, prior to weaning off CPB, at intensive care unit arrival, and 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after surgery. Results: There were no complications related to the tonometer. A pathologically low pHiB 7.32 was found during surgery in less than 17%, at intensive care unit arrival in 83% a…
