Cardiac arrhythmia induced by hypothermia in a cardiac model in vitro

2013

The neurological damage after cardiac arrest (CA) constitutes a big challenge of hospital discharge since years. The therapeutic hypothermia therapy (34°C-32°C) has shown its benefit to reduce cerebral oxygen demand and improve neurological outcomes after the cardiac arrest. Despite the fact that induced hypothermia after CA has been shown to increase the hospital survival rate, it can have many adverse effects, among which the cardiac arrhythmia generation represents an important part (up to 34%, according different clinical studies). Compared to studies in vivo, cardiac culture in vitro provides a better spatial resolution at cellular level, which could bring some insights of the mechanis…

Cardiac arrest in older adult patients

2021

Purpose of review To describe the epidemiology, prognostication, and treatment of out- and in-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA and IHCA) in elderly patients. Recent findings Elderly patients undergoing cardiac arrest (CA) challenge the appropriateness of attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Current literature suggests that factors traditionally associated with survival to hospital discharge and neurologically intact survival after CA cardiac arrest in general (e.g. presenting ryhthm, bystander CPR, targeted temperature management) may not be similarly favorable in elderly patients. Alternative factors meaningful for outcome in this special population include prearrest functional sta…

Effect of combination therapy with hypothermia, magnesium and tirilazad in an experimental model of diffuse cerebral ischemia

2007

Objetivo. Valorar el grado de neuroprotección combinando hipotermia con magnesio y tirilazad en la isquemia cerebral global. La isquemia cerebral es uno de los problemas de mayor interés en la actualidad con unas medidas terapéuticas limitadas. La utilización de la hipotermia, una de las más eficaces, junto con los fármacos neuroprotectores puede ser una alternativa válida. Diseño. Estudio experimental con grupo control y dos niveles de aplicación de medidas terapéuticas. Ámbito. Laboratorio experimental de la Facultad de Medicina. Participantes y método. Veintiocho ratas Wistar sufrieron isquemia cerebral global de 10 minutos de duración mediante la combinación del clampaje carotídeo bilat…

Preoperativ oppvarming av pasienter med hoftebrudd : Kan preoperativ oppvarming med varmluftsteppe redusere intraoperativt temperaturfall hos pasient…

2018

Masteroppgave spesialsykepleie ME519 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 Background: Hip fractures are a common cause of hospitalization and are linked with high morbidity and mortality rates. It is therefore important to optimize every aspect of their treatment to minimize complications. The Nurse Anesthetist plays an important role in preventing complications related to both surgery and anesthesia. Purpose: The aim of this project is to evaluate the quality of the current procedure for preoperative prevention of hypothermia in our hospital. We wanted to investigate if this procedure for preventing hypothermia is as effective as preoperative warming with a forcedair system in hip fracture patient…
