Consensus of the Brazilian association of hematology, hemotherapy and cellular therapy on patient blood management: Anemia tolerance mechanisms

Abstract Understanding the physiological concepts of oxygen delivery is essential to discern the mechanisms that influence its increase, reduction or maintenance in the body. This text explores the different mechanisms that help maintain oxygen delivery even in the face of reduced hemoglobin levels. Adeq...

Cardiopulmonary effects of prolonged surgical abdominal retractors application during general anesthesia: a prospective observational comparative study

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (3), 2023
Abstract Introduction: Increasing abdominal pressures could affect pulmonary compliance and cardiac performance, a fact based on which the aim of the present study to detect the cardiopulmonary burden of multiple retractors application during supine versus lateral abdominal surgeries. We hypothesized th...

Catéter de arteria pulmonar en shock cardiogénico: novedades acerca de su valor pronóstico y marcadores derivados

Rev. chil. cardiol; 42 (1), 2023
El uso del catéter de arteria pulmonar es un método eficaz para la monitorización de los pacientes críticos. Aunque ampliamente utilizado en las Unidades de Cuidados Críticos Cardiológicos, no se ha demostrado en estudios previos el beneficio de su uso. Registros recientes y numerosos en pacientes ...

Agreement analysis of stroke volume and cardiac output measurement between a oscillometric device and transthoracic echocardiogram in normotensive individuals: a preliminary report

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (4), 2023
Abstract Introduction The evaluation of stroke volume (SV) is useful in research and patient care. To accomplish this, an ideal device should be noninvasive, continuous, reliable, and reproducible. The Mobil-O-Graph (MOG) is a noninvasive oscillometric matrix validated for measuring aortic and periphera...

Comparative study between suprasternal and apical windows: a user-friendly cardiac output measurement for the anesthesiologist

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (4), 2023
Abstract Introduction Transthoracic echocardiography is a safe and readily available tool for noninvasive monitoring of Cardiac Output (CO). The use of the suprasternal window situated at the sternal notch can be an alternative approach for estimating blood flow. The present study aimed to compare two m...

Monitorización hemodinámica por ecocardiografía trans-torácica en pacientes en posoperatorio de cirugía cardiovascular

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (4), 2023
OBJECTIVE: To describe hemodynamic variables measured by transthoracic echocardiography in patients undergoing different cardiovascular surgery procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, descriptive, prospective, single center study. Hemodynamic measurement was performed with the use of transthora...

Apoyo inotrópico en el paciente anciano quirúrgico

Rev. chil. anest; 51 (5), 2022
The hemodynamic behavior of the elderly patient can be compromised during the intraoperative period by decreasing cardiac output, both in response to the physiological wear and tear of age, and because of anesthetic agents. The objective of the pre- sent study was to identify the usefulness of dobutamine...

Inestabilidad hemodinámica en obstetricia

Rev. chil. anest; 51 (6), 2022
The hemodynamic instability in the pregnant patient is a challenge for the treating team, due to the physiological peculiarities of her condition and the emotional impact of her care. Considering the increase in the mortality of pregnant women worldwide in developed countries due to múltiple factors ass...
