However, relation between NT-proBNP and ventilator-weaning outcomes after cardiac surgery has not yet been elucidated. This study was to investigate relationship between blood NT-proBNP and ventilatorweaning outcomes. Methods: A prospective analytical study was at Cardiovascular-thoracic intensive care unit. Cardiac-surgery patients (age 18-80 Y, consented and without exclusion criteria) were included. Blood NT-proBNP was sampling at pre-operation time and at weaning. Early-weaning outcomes were categorized into simple, difficult, and prolong weaning. Late-weaning outcomes were reintubation and suspicious cardiopulmonary compensations. Blood NT-proBNPs were compared among/between early and late-weaning outcomes. Area under the curve and sensitivity/specificity at various cut-off values for poor weaning outcomes were analyzed. Results: A final of 134 patients were analyzed. The mean NT-proBNPs (pre-operation and weaning) were 1,417.8 and 4,532.5 pg/ml, respectively. wide variations of NT-proBNPs were observed. NT-proBNPs were not significantly related to difficult, prolong, and reintubation; but significantly related to suspicious cardiopulmonary compensations. AUC range were 0.43-0.65. Conclusions: NT-proBNP increased 4-5-fold after cardiac surgery. A significant increase was related to sympathetic activation, not weaning-induced LV load. Due to low sensitivity, NT-proBNPs were not good predictors for difficult or prolong weaning and reintubation in post cardiac surgery.","PeriodicalId":90855,"journal":{"name":"International journal of anesthetics and anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46165715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the construction also makes kinks or breaks in the enclosed inspiratory limb difficult to detect. With kinking or disconnection of the central inspiratory limb, the patient may rebreathe expiratory gases, leading to a significant increase in dead space and concomitant respiratory acidosis. We describe a clinical case in which a disconnection in the inner inspiratory limb of a King (King Circuits, Noblesville, IN) coaxial breathing circuit resulted in severe respiratory acidosis 4 hours after induction during a craniotomy for tumor resection. Similar cases have been reported in the literature [1-3], but this one differs in the timing of the rebreathing and respiratory acidosis. Therefore, anesthetic providers who are aware that coaxial circuit failures associated with the inspiratory limb can occur at any time during surgery will be in a position to identify the problem early, thereby limiting the degree of respiratory acidosis that develops and reducing the risk of associated complications.","PeriodicalId":90855,"journal":{"name":"International journal of anesthetics and anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48036417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we aimed to determine anxiety levels of liver transplantation donors via a questionnaire and reveal their quality of life and anxiety status during the 1st postoperative day and month. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: In the critical care. Patients: Following the Ethics Committee approval, forty subjects of both sexes, between the ages of 18 and 75 years, who were on the list of liver transplant donors were included in the study. Interventions: A 10-item anxiety and quality of life questionnaire was prepared using scales applied to surgical patients, such as the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale for preoperative anxiety, the Spielburger State-Trait Anxiety and Inventory and the Profile of Mood States on the 1st postoperative day and month. Measurements: Data regarding the donor’s age, sex, marital status, educational background, history of previous surgeries, the degree of affinity between donor and the recipient, number and age of their children, and duration of patient’s disease were recorded. Main results: On the first day and in the first month, the total score on questions “I am worried about anesthesia” was significantly lower than the total scores on the questions “I am worried about the success of the surgical procedure” and “I am worried about the risk of anesthesia-related mortality” (p = 0.007 and p = 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Many living donors are motivated to make their decision on this procedure in a short time. We believe that allocating more time to informing patients and donors and holding information meetings on anesthesia and surgical procedures at intervals may be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":90855,"journal":{"name":"International journal of anesthetics and anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41986137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim of the study: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the use of the EZ-IO® device, by the S.U.E.M. 118 of Padua, in terms of efficacy and safety in obtaining intraosseous vascular access for fluids and drugs infusions in an out-of-hospital emergency setting. Materials and methods: From February 2012 to May 2016, all cases of pre-hospital IO access within the operational areas of the Pre-hospital Emergency Service (SUEM 118) of Padua were prospectively recorded. Data were collected by using a standardized grid and by consulting the online computer server Galileo. Data were then analysed by using the Statgraphics Centurion and Microsoft® Excel software. Results: 89 patients required an intraosseous vascular access. Needles’ placement using the EZ-IO device was successful in 97.75% (87/89). Considering only first attempts, the success rate is 95.51% (85/89). No immediate complications were observed. After one year, one patient was found to have an abscess at the insertion site, but there are insufficient data to establish the cause. Pain was evaluated in 38 patients, after administration of Lidocaine and the Mean value was calculated to be 3 and standard deviation (sd) 2. Only one patient reported unbearable pain (10/10). Conclusions: The high percentage of successful insertions along with low complication rates, shows that the use of intraosseous vascular access should be considered as first line treatment in out-of-hospital emergencies, whenever a rapid and safe vascular access is required, thus it can be used in every situation where a vascular access is impossible to obtain, regardless of the clinical conditions of the patient and the elapsed time.","PeriodicalId":90855,"journal":{"name":"International journal of anesthetics and anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44628950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
