MethodsTwenty infants with VSD were enrolled in the study fromJan. to Dec.2004. They were divided into two groups: pulmonary hypertension group and non-pulmonary hypertension group, ten infantsrespectively. Pulmonary function parameters were measured before CPB and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24h after CPB, the following datawere recorded: duration for mechanical ventilation (Tmv) and staying in the cardiac intensive care unit (Tcicu) after cardiac surgery.Results Before CPB, the pulmonary function parameters in non-pulmonary hypertension group were more superior than in pulmonary hy-pertension group (P<0.01). By contraries, the pulmonary function parameters in every time stage after CPB statistically significant de-creased in non-pulmonary hypertension group (P<0.05), especially at 6, 9, and 15h after CPB (P<0.01). In pulmonary hyperten-sion group, the pulmonary function parameters in 3h after CPB were more improved than before CPB, though there was no statistical sig-nificance. But they had statistically significant decreased at9, 12, 15h after CPB (P<0.05). There was a similar change in pulmonaryfunction between two groups at 21, 24h after CPB. Conclusion Exposure to CPB adversely affects pulmonary function after surgicalrepair of VSD in infants. We consider that the benefits of the surgical correction in infants with pulmonary hypertension outweight the neg-ative effects of CPB on pulmonary function. We should improve cardiac function to avoid the presence of the nadir trough in pulmonaryfunction. The infants with pulomonary hypertension also have ability to wean from mechanical ventilation as soon as possible, if the hemo-dynamics is stable, and without the responsive pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary hypertension crisis after surgical repair.展开更多

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been increasingly used since the 1960s. Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, including Sudan. Self-efficacy and functional capacity is a critical factor for quality of life in patients who has undergone CABG as well as for their caregivers from their families. Aim of the Study: To explore the effects of an educational program on self-efficacy and functional capacity of patients after CABG. 1) There will be no significant difference between the intervention group and control group concerning knowledge regarding Self-efficacy and functional capacity post CABG surgery. 2) The application of our educational program for the patients will enhance the patients with CABG surgery and improve knowledge about Self-efficacy and functional capacity post CABG surgery. 3) There are some socio demographic factors that affect the response to the educational program. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental, interventional and hospital-based study, including pre-test, a post-test and follow-up test, with a control group, conducted during the period from September 2014 to June 2019. Patients were recruited consecutively to the cases and control group using convenience sampling. The sample consisted of 76 patients;41 as cases and 35 as control group. The sample included those who had undergone CABG in Khartoum State. Relevant data were collected using a checklist to monitor the effect of a health education program on self-efficacy and functional capacity of the patients. Result: The results showed marked improvement in patients’ self-efficacy and functional capacity between pretest and posttest for the study group;p-value = (0.001) in the health status of cases in comparison to the control group. The indices were observed to be higher for patients who received a nursing educational program throughout the study period;p-value = (0.002).展开更多
