Effects of a forced-air warming system and warmed intravenous fluids on hemodynamic parameters, shivering, and time to awakening in elderly patients undergoing open cardiac surgery
CONCLUSION: The results revealed that FAWS could mitigate the degree of hypothermia, increase body temperature and decrease the postoperative serum lactate levels. Moreover, BE as one of the most important parameters for ABGs, could remain at a normal level. Besides, the use of FAWS could lead to early awakening, and thus facilitate weaning and extubation of these patients.PMID:37861571 | PMC:PMC10691583 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_20_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Effect of transesophageal echocardiography probe on tracheal perfusion pressure and ventilatory parameters in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass: A prospective observational study
CONCLUSION: TEE probe causes an increase in CP and decreases TPP. Constant monitoring and maintaining CP, TPP in optimum range is recommended.PMID:37861572 | PMC:PMC10691560 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_19_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Role of magnesium alone or in combination with diltiazem and/or amiodarone in prevention of atrial fibrillation following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the use of amiodarone and/or diltiazem in addition to magnesium did not result in additional benefit of lowering the incidence of AF.PMID:37861573 | PMC:PMC10691575 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_35_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

A Lung ultrasound-based comparison of postoperative respiratory outcome after pediatric congenital heart surgery in COVID-19 recovered and COVID-19 unaffected children-a pilot study
CONCLUSION: LUSS was not higher in COVID-recovered children. Children with a history of severe COVID-19 recorded higher LUSS, in-hospital mortality, duration of ICU stay, and duration of ventilation.PMID:37861574 | PMC:PMC10691578 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_43_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Effect of intravenous levosimendan or milrinone on left atrial pressure in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting-A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: Levosimendan may be used as a primary inotrope in terms of better reduction in left atrial pressure during different stages of OPCAB, translating to a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, therefore maintaining optimum coronary perfusion pressure, which is the primary goal of the surgery.PMID:37861575 | PMC:PMC10691577 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_51_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)
