When the PAH was mild, ANP levels were not significantly changed (t= 1, p >0.05). The mean pulmonary artery pressures (mPAP) measured by catheterization had no significant change, but there was a significant increase of the ratio of dorsal/abdominal counts using pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging (PPTI) (t=2.5, p <0.05). The ANP levels rose when PAH was moderate or severe, and the difference was significant compared with the control group (t=4 and 6.5, p <0.05). The other two methods also showed significant changes (p <0.01). There was positive correlation between the results of ANP/PPTI, ANP/catheterization, and PPTI/catheterizations (p <0.01). These results suggest that ANP levels can assess the degree of the PAH as a simple method, but it is not as sensitive as that of the PPTI in mild PAH.展开更多

It was found that AFEP could induce elevation of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and development of lung edema, which could be partially prevented by ibuprofen, a cycloxygenase inhibit0r, but amniotic fluid itself could not cause elevation of PAP and lung edema. The result suggests that AFEP-induced mediator from whole blood cells may be the important factor resulting in above-mentioned pathological changes.展开更多

On the day of the procedure, the infant was asymptomatic with oxygen saturation in the 90’s on 1.0 L/min O2 nasal cannula. His parents denied any recent illness. During the procedure, one coil was inadvertently embolized into the right lung resulting in markedly increased pulmonary artery pressures. The Pa-etCO2 gradient increased to 25 mmHg from a baseline of 2 mmHg. Therapy was initiated to reduce the PaCO2. The patient could not be weaned from mechanical ventilation due to elevated PA pressures.展开更多

In this study passive graft perfusion （PGP） was applied to investigate the effect during and after OPCABG as evaluated by cardiac troponin I （CTnl） and hemodynamic indexes. Methods Thirty first-time patients underwent OPCABG under one surgeon. They were randomly divided into two groups： The passive graft perfusion group （PGP, n=15） received distal coronary perfusion during the anastomosis and immediate graft perfusion after the distal anastomosis. The control group, no graft perfusion group, （NGP, n=15） received no graft perfusion after the distal anastomosis. The results of the two protocols were evaluated by concentration of CTnl and hemodynamic indexes before induction and after operation. Results There were no statistically significant differences between these two groups in their perioperation parameters. The level of CTnl increased postoperatively, reached its peak at 6 hours （P〈0.05） and recovered by the 6 days postoperative. Compared with the control group the concentration of CTnl in the PGP group was significantly lower at 6 and 24 hours （P〈0.01）. Compared with the NGP group, cardiac index （CI） in the PGP group was higher at 12 and 24 hours after operation （P〈0.05）. The period of mechanical ventilation was significantly shorter in the PGP group than in the NGP group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion PGP can increase the flow to the myocardium and shorten the heart ischemia time, thus maintain stable systemic hemodynamics, supply a satisfactory CI after surgery and improve surgery outcome.展开更多
