Perioperative diaphragm point-of-care ultrasound as a prediction tool of postoperative respiratory failure in high-risk patients: A feasibility study…
2021
Abstract Introduction Respiratory muscle function in the postoperative period is a key to whether a patient develops Postoperative Respiratory Failure (PRF) or not. PRF occurs when the gas exchange does not meet metabolic needs. Ipsilateral paralysis of the hemidiaphragm after interscalenic brachial plexus block (ISB) causes an acute reduction of respiratory muscle function. This reduction does not cause PRF when the contralateral hemidiaphragm generates enough gas exchange to meet metabolic demands. Objectives To study the evolution of hemidiaphragmatic muscle function during the perioperative period with diaphragmatic ultrasound (D-POCUS), and use it as an innovative tool to predict PRF, …
Right ventricular function and iron deficiency in acute heart failure
2021
Abstract Aims Iron deficiency (ID) is a frequent finding in patients with chronic and acute heart failure (AHF) along the full spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Iron deficiency has been related to ventricular systolic dysfunction, but its role in right ventricular function has not been evaluated. We sought to evaluate whether ID identifies patients with greater right ventricular dysfunction in the setting of AHF. Methods and results We prospectively included 903 patients admitted with AHF. Right systolic function was evaluated by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and the ratio TAPSE/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP). Iron deficiency was de…
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos
2014
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos. El senderismo se ha convertido en una de las actividades físico-recreativas más importantes de nuestra sociedad. Los enfoques de práctica superan las motivaciones deportivas para incorporar objetivos turísticos, de calidad de vida, de movilidad no motorizada o del desarrollo rural, por citar algunos ejemplos. Por otra parte, el senderismo admite actividades afines (excursionismo, caminata, trekking, paseo,…) y coexiste perfectamente con otras prácticas complementarias (carreras de montaña, vías ferratas, Btt, equitación,…) que le convierten en un verdadero fenómeno social. Frente una actividad de tal envergadura y transcen…
