Presentation 5 The Heart
The cardiovascular system maintains blood distribution throughout the body. It consists of the heart and blood vessels. The heart is located in the mediastinum behind the sternum and is about the size of a fist. Stress tests evaluate cardiac fitness and chest pains by monitoring the heart's electrical activity and changes in blood pressure and pulse during increasing exercise. Risks include irregular rhythms, chest pain, and heart attack. Cardiac catheterization inserts a thin tube into the heart chambers to collect samples and measure pressures, detecting abnormalities. Risks are bleeding, infection, damage, and allergic reactions. Serum lipoprotein tests blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels to prevent cognitive issues, with minimal risks.

Cardiac catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure where doctors insert a thin tube called a catheter into an artery in the arm or leg leading to the heart. The catheter distributes contrast dye that shows up on x-rays to visualize the coronary arteries and assess how well the heart is working. Common cardiovascular problems include high blood pressure, aneurysms, embolisms, blood clots, high cholesterol, and varicose veins. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular checkups, managing cholesterol and blood pressure, eating well, and consulting a doctor for any illness can help ensure a healthy heart and long life.

Congestive heart failure (chf) sushila
1. Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the tissues' needs for oxygen and nutrients.
2. It can be caused by mechanical abnormalities of the heart, myocardial abnormalities, or altered cardiac rhythm/conduction disturbances.
3. Symptoms of heart failure depend on whether the left or right side of the heart is affected and include shortness of breath, edema, fatigue, cough, and liver/spleen enlargement.
Double Valve Replacement Surgery
Double valve replacement surgery is better known as heart valve replacement surgery. It is performed to treat the heart by replacing a damaged valve with a healthy one. The valve replacement keeps the heart safe and sound from further damage or infection. The human heart consists of four valves: the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve and the aortic valve. For more information visit at www.surgeryxchange.com
The Hemodynamic
The document discusses the causes, signs, and types of shock as well as fluid resuscitation strategies for hemorrhagic shock. It notes that the major causes of shock are decreased circulatory volume and failure of the heart to pump blood. Signs of shock include restlessness, rapid pulse, pale skin, and decreased blood pressure. Fluid resuscitation aims to restore volume and oxygen delivery while avoiding excessive volume that could increase bleeding risk. Control of hemorrhage through surgery is a higher priority than fluid administration.
Portalhypertension
Portal Hypertension is an increase in the pressure within the portal vein (the vein that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver). The increase in pressure is caused by a blockage in the blood flow through the liver.

It also outlines the nursing management of patients undergoing valve transplant surgery. This includes pre-operative education and preparation, post-operative monitoring of vital signs and incision sites, encouraging breathing and mobility exercises to prevent complications, and administering medications.
Cardiovascular Procedures
Cardiovascular procedures like cardiac echocardiography and extracorporeal circulation are used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. Cardiac echocardiography uses ultrasound to create detailed images of the heart, allowing observation of heart tissue, valves, blood flow, and other metrics. Extracorporeal circulation involves circulating blood outside the body during open-heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. Thrombolytic drugs like tPA are also used to dissolve dangerous blood clots and restore blood flow in emergencies like strokes and heart attacks.
Anaesthesia for cardiopulmonary bypass surgery [autosaved]
This document discusses cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which involves diverting blood away from the heart and through an external circuit that oxygenates the blood and returns it to the body. CPB allows surgery to be performed on an unbeating heart while still providing circulation. The key components of a CPB machine and roles of the perfusionist in managing it are described. Steps in CPB like priming, hypothermia, myocardial preservation via cardioplegia, and monitoring techniques are summarized.
Ecmo presentation final
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) provides both respiratory and circulatory support for patients with heart and lung failure. It works by draining venous blood, oxygenating it, and returning it to the arterial system. The document discusses cannulation techniques and considerations for VA ECMO, as well as physiological effects and important monitoring parameters to optimize patient care and outcomes.
Measured Central Venous Pressure and Physician Administration of Intravenous ...
Our study is using the independent variables of low CVP coupled with hypotension and dependent variable of physician administered fluids to test how the Venus 1000 can alter physician actions in the emergency department setting.
Hemodynamic monitoring basic assessment
Cardiac output is determined by preload and pump function, where preload is approximated by right atrial or central venous pressure (CVP). While measures that decrease cardiac output but increase oxygen saturation may cancel each other out, CVP alone does not indicate blood volume or fluid responsiveness but a low CVP suggests a patient may benefit from fluid if hemodynamically compromised. CVP should be considered together with cardiac output to guide fluid administration, with a goal of 8-12 mmHg without ventilation or 12-15 mmHg with ventilation; however, a conservative fluid strategy may improve outcomes by minimizing acute lung injury.
prosthetic valve replacement
Valve replacement surgery involves replacing a diseased heart valve with an artificial prosthetic valve. There are two main types of prosthetic valves - mechanical valves made of synthetic materials that last longer but require lifelong blood thinners, and bioprosthetic valves made from animal tissue that do not require blood thinners but only last 10-15 years. Selection of the valve type depends on factors like the patient's age, other medical conditions, and ability to take blood thinners. Valve replacement is usually recommended for severe valve disease causing symptoms or when the risks of continuing valve disease outweigh the risks of surgery.
Cardioplegia
This document discusses various topics related to cardioplegia, including alternative arresting agents and additives, crystalloid versus blood cardioplegia, and potential new technologies. It provides details on adenosine receptors, minute work and oxygen demand, alternative arresting agents such as beta blockers and adenocaine, agents affecting calcium transport, and ways to avoid substrate depletion. It compares crystalloid and blood cardioplegia, outlining advantages and disadvantages of each. Finally, it discusses novel strategies for cardioprotection such as ischemic preconditioning, post-conditioning, and remote ischemic preconditioning.

Modern surgery has its foundations in the 18th century work of John Hunter, considered the father of scientific surgery. He conducted experiments and built a collection of over 13,000 specimens to advance surgical knowledge. Important later figures included Pott who described tuberculosis of the spine and Cooper who performed the first successful abdominal aorta ligation. In the mid-19th century, the discovery of anesthesia like ether and chloroform transformed surgery by relieving patient suffering and enabling more complex internal operations.
20 Respiratory System
The respiratory system allows for gas exchange between the lungs and bloodstream. It consists of an upper respiratory tract including the nose and throat, and a lower respiratory tract including the trachea, bronchi and lungs. The lungs contain tiny air sacs called alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged through the blood vessels. The respiratory system functions through breathing which involves inhaling air through the nose and mouth, and exhaling air out through the mouth.

extracopreal ciculation
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a technique used during open heart surgery to temporarily take over the function of the heart and lungs. The blood is diverted to an external circuit for oxygenation and pumping before being returned to the body. CPB allows surgeons to operate on a still, dry heart. It involves cannulating major vessels to initiate extracorporeal circulation, cooling and arresting the heart, and using a heart-lung machine to oxygenate and circulate the blood. Heparin is given to prevent clotting and the heart is protected with cardioplegia solution. After surgery, patients are rewarmed and weaned off bypass before closing the chest. Complications can include bleeding, infection

Different Types of Heart Surgery Every Patient Should Know About
The term bypass indicates a new route that is surgically created within the heart to ensure flow of oxygen and blood to the heart. A bypass needs to be treated when the heart is blocked because of coronary artery disease (angina).
The Cardiovascular System
Stress testing, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and ligation and stripping are three procedures used to diagnose or treat cardiovascular disease (CVD). Stress testing is used to diagnose CVD by monitoring the heart's response to exercise. PTCA treats atherosclerosis by inserting a catheter and balloon to open blocked blood vessels. Ligation and stripping treats varicose veins by removing or tying off dilated veins.

Heart Transplant
A heart transplant involves removing a diseased heart and replacing it with a healthy donor heart. It is a complex three-stage surgery where the donor heart is first removed, then the recipient's heart, and finally the donor heart is implanted. After surgery, patients undergo rehabilitation and lifelong immunosuppressant drugs to prevent rejection while monitoring for complications. Though risky, transplant significantly increases survival for end-stage heart failure patients compared to just medical treatment.

In this procedure damaged mitral valve is replaced by either a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve.
Heart valve replacement surgery procedure
Heart valve replacement surgery is a surgical procedure by which cardiac surgeons eliminate a damaged heart valve & replace it with grafts or portions from body tissues or with artificial heart valves to improve the normal functioning of the heart. https://goo.gl/gg6JsJ
Artificial heart transplantation
The document summarizes information about total artificial heart transplantation including:
- The surgical procedure involves removing the damaged heart and attaching an artificial heart made of biocompatible plastic.
- Risks include bleeding, infections, and blood clots. The artificial heart aims to temporarily support patients until a donor heart is available.
- The surgery requires opening the chest, stopping the native heart, and connecting the artificial heart to blood vessels using a heart-lung machine for support during the operation.
Extracoporeal Life Support presentation final
1) Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a mechanical means of temporarily supporting heart and lung function during cardiopulmonary failure, allowing for organ recovery or replacement.
2) ECLS can be used for both cardiac and respiratory failure indications when mortality risks are high despite optimal conventional therapy.
3) The ECLS circuit involves removing blood from the body, oxygenating it using a membrane lung, and returning it to the body through vascular access via the veins and arteries. Proper blood flow and gas exchange parameters must be monitored and maintained.

Heart Surgery in India | MedMonks
The heart is the vital organ in the human being. A healthy heart is a key to healthy living. India is the ideal destination for heart surgery because of cost-effectiveness and the efficiency of healthcare professionals in the surgical procedures.
Surgical procedures are well practiced and the success rate in the journey is very high. When compared to the developed countries like the USA, UK, Japan and Singapore the factors like cost-saving and low waiting line makes India a perfect destination for treatment of diseases related to heart.
Heart care
This document provides information on various cardiac procedures including:
- Coronary angiography and angioplasty/stenting to open blocked arteries
- Balloon valvuloplasty to widen a narrowed heart valve
- Pacemaker implantation
- Cardiac surgery such as coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacement/repair
It describes what happens before, during, and after these procedures, including potential risks, recovery process, and lifestyle changes needed for cardiac health.
Cardiovascular surgeries-CABG,TYPES,CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS MACHINE
This document discusses different types of cardiac surgery including reparative, reconstructive, and substitutional procedures. It provides details on open heart surgery and how the cardiopulmonary bypass machine works during surgery. The two main types of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery covered are on-pump open heart surgery and minimally invasive/off-pump surgery. On-pump surgery requires stopping the heart and using the bypass machine while off-pump surgery is done on the beating heart without use of the machine.

Cirugia cardiovascular ingles
Cardiovascular surgery involves repairing or improving cardiac issues that cannot be treated with drugs or minor procedures. The goal is often to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, rather than completely resolving the problem. Common procedures include vascular bypass surgery to redirect blood flow around blockages, heart valve surgery to repair or replace diseased valves, and heart transplants to replace a disabled heart. Pacemakers are also used to treat irregular or slow heart rhythms through electrical signals. These surgeries aim to treat issues like coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that weakens the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. The main types are dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common type and causes the heart chambers to enlarge over time. Treatment involves managing symptoms and risk factors with medications, lifestyle changes, surgery such as implantable devices or transplant, and treating any underlying causes. A heart transplant may be an option for severe cases but carries risks of organ rejection, infection, and side effects of immunosuppressant drugs.
Cardiac Surgery.ppt
Cardiac surgery procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting and heart valve replacement are described. Postoperative complications involve decreased cardiac output, impaired tissue perfusion, impaired gas exchange, infections, and pain. Nursing assessments and interventions focus on hemodynamic monitoring, respiratory status, incision care, pain management, and health teaching about recovery.
Angioplasty and-vascular-stenting
Angioplasty uses imaging guidance to insert a balloon-tipped catheter into a narrow or blocked blood vessel where the balloon is inflated to open the vessel and improve blood flow. It may be done with vascular stenting – the placement of a small wire mesh tube within the blood vessel to help keep it open. The procedure is much less invasive than other surgical interventions and usually does not require general anesthesia.
