The Need of Renal Replacement Therapy and In-Hospital Mortality Incidence In Patients With Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Retrospective Study
The goal of this study is to analyse the relation of severe acute kidney injury post cardiac surgery which characterised by the need of renal replacement therapy, with in-hospital postoperative mortality incidence.
The main question it aims to answer:
To compare between patients complicated with acute kidney injury and exposure of renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) and patients complicated with acute kidney injury which does not require renal replacement therapy, in associated with in-hospital postoperative mortality.
The Effect of Semi Fowler 30' Right Lateral on Cardiac Output in Acute Heart Failure
Heart failure is a special clinical syndrome such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, and swollen legs characterized by increased JVP, crackle lung sounds, and peripheral edema caused by heart disorders both structural and/or functional, resulting in decreased cardiac output and increased intracardiac pressure at rest and activity. Body positioning has been shown to affect stroke volume and parasympathetic modulating activity. The right lateral 30" semifowler position is a very safe position in heart failure patients admitted to the ICU. Although body positioning can affect stroke volume, and parasympathetic modulation, it is not yet clear what effect it has on cardiac output
The Role of Dexmedetomidine as Myocardial Protector in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital abnormality found in newborns with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) being the most common cyanotic CHD. Total correction of TOF was performed using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine. However, the use of CPB has a negative effect that causes inflammation and myocardial injury. Myocardial protection in patients undergoing total correction of TOF surgery is more difficult than other cyanotic CHD due to a hypertrophic right ventricular condition. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective α-2 adrenergic, which has major effects including hypnosis, sedation, and analgesia as well as cardiovascular effects. The sedation is induced by stimulating the α-2 adrenergic receptor in the locus coeruleus (LC) in the pons cerebri. DEX also increases the level of GABA and Galanin and reduces endogenous norepinephrine. The lower level of endogenous norepinephrine decreases the afterload of the ventricles, increases cardiac output, and reduces myocardial injury as a result. Furthermore, the peripheral effects of DEX can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) by inhibiting NF-кB pathway activation and reducing the number of pro-inflammatory cytokines released. Thus, the administration of DEX can prevent myocardial necrosis and apoptosis, also reducing reperfusion injury when using CPB machines. Research related to the effectiveness of administering DEX as a myocardial protector in classic TOF patients undergoing elective total correction cardiac surgery in Indonesia is less reported. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of DEX as myocardial protector in classic TOF patients undergoing elective total correction cardiac surgery.
