Perioperative central venous oxygen saturation and its correlation with mortali...

Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T02:20:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; Background: Cardiac surgery can produce persistent deficit in the ratio of Oxygen Delivery (DO2) to Oxygen Consumption (VO2). Central venous oxygen Saturation (ScvO2) is an accessible and indirect measure of DO2/VO2 ratio. Objective: To monitor perioperative ScvO2 and assess its correlation with mortali...

Ventilation of rats with room air is more adequate than ventilation with pure o...

O presente estudo investigou se a ventilação de ratos com cilindros de ar comprimido é possível e se esta técnica seria melhor do que o procedimento de ventilação com cilindros de oxigênio comprimido. Vinte ratos foram divididos em dois grupos de dez animais cada. Em um grupo os animais foram ventilados com ar ambiente e o outro grupo foram ventilados com oxigênio puro. Parâmetros dos gases sanguíneos e o índic...

Local and systemic effects of fibrin and cyanoacrylate adhesives on lung lesion...

OBJECTIVES: Tissue adhesives can be used to prevent pulmonary air leaks, which frequently occur after lung interventions. The objective of this study is to evaluate local and systemic effects of fibrin and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives on lung lesions in rabbits. METHODS: Eighteen rabbits were submitted to videothoracoscopy + lung incision alone (control) or videothoracoscopy + lung incision + local applicatio...

Effectiveness and safety of iodopovidone in an experimental pleurodesis model

Effectiveness and safety of iodopovidone in an experimental pleurodesis model

OBJECTIVES: Chemical pleurodesis is an important therapeutic tool to control recurrent malignant pleural effusion. Among the various sclerosing agents, iodopovidone is considered effective and safe. However, in a recent study, ocular changes were described after iodopovidone was used in recurrent pneumothorax. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and morbidity of iodopovidone pleurodesis in an expe...

Experimental pleurodesis using iodopovidone

Pleurodesis induced by talc or silver nitrate: evaluation of collagen and elast...

Inflammation and clinical repercussions of pleurodesis induced by intrapleural ...

Although reports on pleurodesis date back to the beginning of the 20th century, the search for the ideal sclerosing agent is ongoing. Several agents have been studied and used, but talc continues to be the most popular. However, potentially harmful systemic side effects have been associated with talc pleurodesis. In this article we discuss the likely mechanisms of pleural inflammation and pleurodesis with empha...
