The pressure and volume demands of the right and left ventricles may dramatically change following selective pulmonary vasodilation in newborns with pulmonary hypertension. Thus, ventricular planimetry was performed by two-dimensional echocardiography in 35 newborns with lung disease and increased pulmonary vascular resistance who were treated with inhaled nitric oxide to determine the influence of therapy on right and left ventricular size and function. The end-diastolic and end-systolic areas of each ventricle were measured from apical 4-chamber images before, and 30 to 60 minutes after, the onset of 20 parts per million inhaled nitric oxide. Estimates of ventricular function were determined by the systolic decrease in ventricular area, (diastolic area - systolic area) x 100/diastolic area. Heart rate, systemic blood pressure, and left ventricular areas did not change. However, the oxygenation index, the proportion of right-to-left ductal shunt (nonrestrictive ductus arteriosus, n = 22), the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (closed or restrictive ductus arteriosus, n = 13), and the right ventricular diastolic and systolic areas were decreased after nitric oxide inhalation. The baseline systolic decrease in left ventricular area was lower in a subgroup of patients who developed an increase in left ventricular diastolic area following nitric oxide inhalation. Thus, nitric oxide improves pulmonary hemodynamics and decreases right ventricular size in newborns with lung disease and pulmonary hypertension. However, newborns may develop an increase in left ventricular size if left ventricular function is decreased prior to therapy. 相似文献

The acute hemodynamic effects of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitor saterinone were compared with dobutamine and sodium nitroprusside in 12 patients with idiopathic congestive cardiomyopathy (NYHA III). Hemodynamic measurements were obtained with a Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheter. At the peak of its dose-response curve, saterinone induced an increase in cardiac index (+102%), stroke volume (+97%), and heart rate (+6%), paralleled by a decrease in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (-46%), right atrial pressure (-51%), pulmonary arterial pressure (systolic -32%, diastolic -45%, mean -38%), systemic blood pressure (systolic -3%, diastolic -13%, mean -9%), systemic vascular resistance (-54%), and pulmonary vascular resistance (-58%). Dobutamine had similar effects on cardiac index (+106%) and stroke volume (+87%) but lacked vasodilatory characteristics. In contrast to dobutamine, both nitroprusside and saterinone demonstrated more pronounced vasodilatory effects. Nitroprusside was less effective on cardiac index (+66%) and stroke volume (+56%) than was saterinone. The double product was markedly increased by dobutamine (+28%), did not change with saterinone treatment (+2%), and decreased with nitroprusside (-10%). This indicates that according to double product, only the application of dobutamine caused a relevant increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. Saterinone was demonstrated to be a safe and potent drug on short-term application; it combines the vasodilating properties of sodium nitroprusside with the positive inotropic effects of dobutamine without major changes in myocardial oxygen consumption. 相似文献

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) leads to an acute decrease of right ventricular (RV) afterload in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. We investigated the changes in right and left ventricular (LV) geometry and hemodynamics by means of transthoracic echocardiography. The prospective study was performed in 14 patients (8 female, 6 male; age 55 +/- 20 years) before and 18 +/- 12 days after PTE. Total pulmonary vascular resistance and systolic pulmonary artery pressure were significantly decreased (PVR: preoperative 986 +/- 318, postoperative 323 +/- 280 dyn x s/cm5, p < 0.05; PAP preoperative 71 +/- 40, postoperative 41 +/- 40 mm Hg + right atrial pressure, p < 0.05). End diastolic and end systolic RV area decreased from 33 +/- 12 to 23 +/- 8 cm2, respectively, from 26 +/- 10 to 16 +/- 6 cm2, p < 0.05. There was an increase in systolic RV fractional area change from 20 +/- 12 to 30 +/- 16%, p < 0.05. RV systolic pressure rise remained unchanged (516 +/- 166 vs. 556 +/- 128 mm Hg/sec). LV ejection fraction remained within normal ranges (64 +/- 16 vs. 62 +/- 12%). Echocardiographically determined cardiac index increased from 2.8 +/- 0.74 to 4.1 +/- 1.74 l/min/m2. A decrease in LV excentricity indices (end diastolic: 1.9 +/- 1 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.3, end systolic: 1.7 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.4, p < 0.05) proved a normalization of preoperatively altered septum motion. LV diastolic filling returned to normal limits: (E/A ratio: 0.62 +/- 0.34 vs. 1.3 +/- 0.8; p < 0.05); Peak E velocity: 0.51 +/- 0.34 vs. 0.88 +/- 0.28 m/sec, p < 0.05; Peak A velocity: 0.81 +/- 0.36 vs. 0.72 +/- 0.42 m/sec, ns; E deceleration velocity: 299 +/- 328 vs. 582 +/- 294 cm/sec2, p < 0.05; Isovolumic relaxation time: 134 +/- 40 vs. 83 +/- 38 m/sec, p < 0.05). We could show a marked decrease in RV afterload shortly after PTE with a profound recovery of right ventricular systolic function--even in case of severe pulmonary hypertension. A decrease in paradoxic motion of the interventricular septum and normalization of LV diastolic filling pattern resulted in a significant increase of cardiac index. 相似文献

Pulsed Doppler echocardiographic and hemodynamic examinations were performed in 31 patients (mean age 17.8 years) with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD). Three groups were studied: group I (n = 6) patients had severe pulmonary vascular obstructive disease (PVOD); group II (n = 12) patients had pulmonary hypertension (PH) without severe PVOD; group III (n = 13) patients had no PH. Bidirectional shunting was detected in 9 VSD patients (6 in group I and 3 in group II). Patients with low to moderately elevated right ventricular pressures demonstrated left-to-right shunting across the defect throughout the cardiac cycle. When systolic pressure in the right ventricle reached approximately 60% of the left ventricular pressure, right-to-left shunting occurred across the defect during early and mid diastole. However, in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (group I) the right-to-left shunting occurred during late systole with continuation during the early and mid diastolic period. The earlier occurrence of right-to-left shunting (index < 0.5 second) signifies the presence of severe PVOD. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Monitoring of cardiac preload is mainly performed by measurement of central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in combination with assessment of cardiac output, applying the pulmonary arterial thermal dilution technique. However, the filling pressures are negatively influenced by mechanical ventilation and the pulmonary artery catheter is criticized because of its inherent risks. Measurement of right atria, right ventricular, global end diastolic and intrathoracic blood volume index by arterial thermal dye dilution utilizing the COLD-system may represent an alternative. METHODS: In 30 CABG patients with an uncomplicated postoperative course the mentioned parameters were measured 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h postoperatively to prove their qualification as preload indicators: As patients received no inotropic support, changes of cardiac index and stroke volume index must correlate to changes of presumably preload indicating parameters. RESULTS: When arterial and pulmonary arterial thermal dilution were compared, no differences were found; the correlation coefficient being 0.96, the bias 0.16 l/min per m2 (2.4%) and coefficients of variation did not exceed 7%. Changes of central venous pressure, capillary wedge pressure, right atrial end diastolic volume index and right ventricular end diastolic volume index did not correlate at all to changes of cardiac and stroke volume index (coefficients ranged from -0.01 to 0.28). In contrast, intrathoracic and global end diastolic blood volume indices with coefficients from 0.76 to 0.87, did show a good correlation to cardiac and stroke volume index. CONCLUSION: Central venous pressure, capillary wedge pressure, right atrial and right ventricular end diastolic volumes are no suitable preload parameters in cardiac surgery intensive care, compared to intrathoracic and global end diastolic blood volumes. The latter show a higher clinical value and can be obtained by less invasive methods, as no pulmonary artery catheter is required. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Congenital septal defects with a large left-to-right shunt often cause pulmonary hypertension, which complicates surgical repair of the defects. METHODS: Twenty-four patients with congenital cardiac septal defects and severe pulmonary hypertension had operation to close the septal defect using a unidirectional valve patch during a 3-year period. The ratio of systolic pulmonary artery pressure to systolic arterial blood pressure was near to or more than 1.0 in all patients. RESULTS: Two patients died in the hospital after operation, and there have been no deaths during intermediate term follow-up. Mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from 80 +/- 12 mm Hg to 56 +/- 18 mm Hg. The ratio of pulmonary artery pressure to systemic arterial pressure dropped from 1.1 +/- 0.1 mm Hg to 0.7 +/- 0.1 mm Hg. The unidirectional valve patch functioned allowing right to left shunting in 4 patients with a systolic pulmonary artery pressure more than systolic arterial blood pressure immediately after closure of a septal defect. The patch sealed or was effectively closed by the third postoperative day. There was impressive improvement in symptoms and exercise tolerance after operation during the 3-month to 3-year (mean, 1.1 year) follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: The unidirectional valve patch is useful for management of patients having operation to close cardiac septal defects in the presence of severe pulmonary hypertension. 相似文献

Before and after 10 dogs were near-drowned with fresh water, cardiac filling pressures were measured during spontaneous respiration, controlled mechanical ventilation with ambient expiratory airway pressure, continuous positive-pressure ventilation (CPPV) with 20 ml H2O PEEP, and CPPV alone. Pulmonary arterial occlusion and left ventricular end diastolic pressures were measured and compared. Intrapleural pressure was subtracted from values for each of these pressures to calculate respective transmural filling pressures. Mechanical ventilation and CPPV each decreased thoracic venous return, but only CPPV increased pulmonary arteriolar resistance. The increase of both airway pressure and pulmonary arteriolar resistance, in turn, increased both right atrial and pulmonary arterial occlusion pressures, but decreased left ventricular filling. Thus, measurement of pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure alone did not allow accurate assessment of cardiac filling pressure. The authors found that measurement of intrapleural pressure was necessary to obtain an accurate reflection of left ventricular filling pressure during CPPV. Momentary interruption of CPPV to measure any pressure was of no value in assessing vascular filling and caused pulmonary edema in several animals. Therefore, the authors recommend that vascular pressures be measured and evaluated without interruption of positive airway pressure. 相似文献

Our purpose was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of olprinone hydrochloride early after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Fifteen patients undergoing CABG were administered a constant infusion of 0.1 microgram/kg/min of olprinone and continued for 4 hours. No bolus infusion of olprinone was administered before continuous infusion. Systolic systemic arterial pressure, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary vascular resistance were significantly decreased. There were no significant changes in heart rate, mean central venous pressure, mean left atrial pressure and left ventricular stroke work index. Cardiac index was significantly increased, but a correlation between cardiac index and mixed venous blood oxygen saturation was not found. Double product was significantly decreased, which described above suggest that olprinone achieved improvement of left cardiac function without more myocardial oxygen consumption. Severe transient hypotension (systolic arterial pressure < 80 mmHg) after infusion of olprinone was observed in three patients. Olprinone administered soon after CABG surgery had beneficial effects in terms of improvement of hemodynamic status without more oxygen consumption and reduction of pulmonary vascular resistance. However transient hypotension was a serious clinical problem in patients after open heart surgery, especially in CABG patients who need suitable systolic arterial pressure to keep enough blood perfusion of arterial bypass grafts. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of methylene blue (MB), an inhibitor of the L-arginine nitric oxide pathway, in patients with septic shock. DESIGN: A prospective, open, single-dose study. SETTING: The medical ICU of a university hospital. PATIENTS: Six patients with severe septic shock. INTERVENTIONS: Complete hemodynamic values were recorded before and 20 min after the infusion of intravenous MB (3 mg kg(-1)). Arterial pressure was then monitored during the next 24 h or until death. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Methylene blue increased the mean arterial pressure from 69.7 +/- 4.5 to 83.7 +/- 5.1 mmHg (p = 0.028) and the mean pulmonary artery pressure, from 34.3 +/- 7.2 to 38.7 +/- 8.0 mmHg (p = 0.023). Systemic vascular resistance index was increased from 703.1 +/- 120.6 to 903.7 +/- 152.2 dyne.s.cm(-5).m(-2) (p = 0.028) and pulmonary vascular resistance index, from 254.6 +/- 96.9 to 342.2 +/- 118.9 dyne.s.cm(-5) .m(-2) (p = 0.027). The PaO2/FIO2 decreased from 229.2 +/- 54.4 to 162.2 +/- 44.1 mmHg (p = 0.028), without significant modification of intrapulmonary shunting. Heart rate, cardiac index, right atrial pressure, DO2, VO2, oxygen extraction and arterial lactate were essentially unchanged. Sequential measurements of arterial pressure demonstrated a return to baseline level in 2-3 h. All but one patients died, three in shock and two in multiple organ failure. CONCLUSIONS: MB induces systemic and pulmonary vasoconstriction in patients with septic shock, without significant decrease in cardiac index. The worsening of arterial oxygenation following MB injection may limit its use in patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Larger studies are required to determine whether MB improves the outcome of patients with septic shock. 相似文献

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies encountered in adulthood. The evaluation of the pulmonary hypertension in ASD is clinically important for operative indication and prognosis. The pulmonary vasculature in chest radiographs in patients with ASD is characterized as dilatation of the central pulmonary arteries and increase of the peripheral pulmonary vessels in patients without pulmonary arterial hypertension (PH) and constriction of the peripheral pulmonary arteries in those with pulmonary hypertension. While the dilatation of the main pulmonary artery occurs in the patients both with and without pulmonary hypertension, its precise radiographic evaluation with regard to the morphological and hemodynamic change of the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries has not been reported. This study was to determine if the contour of the main pulmonary artery segment of the cardiac silhouette in the conventional frontal chest radiograph could be used 1) as indicators of PH or raised right ventricular pressure and 2) as a reliable base for evaluation of the size of the right ventricule (RV) in ASD. The intersection of the line (line A) drawn tangentially to the lateral lower margin of the main pulmonary artery segment to the horizontal line at the left hemidiaphragm is closely related to the apex of RV as measured by right ventricular angiography in supine position. The ratios of the distance of the intersection from the midline of the frontal chest radiograph to the internal diameter of the left hemithorax in normal subjects were 0.50 +/- 0.08 (mean +/- standard deviation) for male and 0.54 +/- 0.09 for female. The ratio increased with increasing left-to-right shunt [0.59(Qp/QS < 2), and 0.71 (Qp/QS > 2)] and shows a tendency of decrease with raised right ventricular systolic pressure (0.52-0.64 in normal subjects and patients with mild raised right ventricular systolic pressure and 0.43 in patients with severe raised right ventricular systolic pressure). The measurement of the angle of the line A from the vertical line tends to show increasing decrease with raised pulmonary arterial and right ventricular systolic pressure (20.1 degrees +/- 4.9 in mild PH and 10.3 degrees +/- 4.1 in moderate to severe PH). The decrease of the angle of the line A to the vertical line was well correlated with conventional radiographic criteria of the right and left central pulmonary arteries of PH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated how variations in atrioventricular (AV) delay affect hemodynamic function in patients with refractory heart failure being supported with intravenous inotropic and intravenous or oral inodilating agents. BACKGROUND: Although preliminary data have suggested that dual-chamber pacing with short AV delays may improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure, detailed Doppler and invasive hemodynamic assessment of patients with refractory New York Heart Association class IV heart failure has not been performed. METHODS: Nine patients with functional class IV clinical heart failure had Doppler assessment of transvalvular flow and right heart catheterization performed during pacing at AV delays of 200, 150, 100 and 50 to 75 ms. RESULTS: Systemic arterial, pulmonary artery, right atrial and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures, cardiac index, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances, stroke volume index, left ventricular stroke work index (SWI) and arteriovenous oxygen content difference demonstrated no significant changes during dual-chamber pacing with AV delays of 200 to 50 to 75 ms. There were also no changes in the Doppler echocardiographic indexes of systolic or diastolic ventricular function. The study was designed with SWI as the outcome variable. Assuming a clinically significant change in the SWI of 5 g/min per m2, a type I error of 0.05 and the observed standard deviation from our study, the observed power of our study is 85% (type II error of 15%). CONCLUSIONS: Changes in AV delay between 200 and 50 ms during dual-chamber pacing do not significantly affect acute central hemodynamic data, including cardiac output and systolic or diastolic ventricular function in patients with severe refractory heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. 相似文献

It has been hypothesized that as large arteries become more rigid with age, the pattern of hypertension changes from diastolic to systolic. Thus, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) may lose its ability to reflect the increase in vascular resistance with age. To assess this, we studied the age-related changes in blood pressure pattern and its steady-state and pulsatile determinants. We performed an epidemiological analysis based on a national survey of 10,462 subjects from Argentina. A hemodynamic analysis (impedance cardiography) was then carried out in 636 consecutive hypertensive patients (age, 25 to 74 years). Whereas the rate of increment in the prevalence of mild to moderate hypertension (MMH) reached a plateau after the sixth decade, isolated and borderline systolic forms of hypertension began a steep and sustained rise. Among patients with MMH, DBP remained stable from the third to the seventh decade, whereas SBP maintained a sustained increase. Despite similar DBP, the systemic vascular resistance index increased 47% (P<.01) and the cardiac index decreased 27% (P<.01), whereas the ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure, an index of arterial compliance, decreased 45% (P<.01). However, there were no significant differences between older patients with MMH and those with isolated systolic hypertension in the level of SBP, vascular resistance, stroke volume, and cardiac index. Compared with age-matched normotensive control subjects, the ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure was much more reduced in isolated systolic hypertension (48%) than in MMH (30%). In summary, the present study, carried out in a large sample of hypertensive subjects with a wide age range, showed a simultaneous impairment in vascular resistance and arterial compliance associated with aging in different patterns of hypertension. The magnitude of these changes, with opposite effects on DBP but additive effects on SBP, suggests that a hemodynamic mechanism could determine the transition in the prevalence of diastolic hypertension toward a systolic pattern of hypertension with aging. Also, the results suggest that SBP, but not DBP, is a reliable indicator of the underlying hemodynamic abnormalities (high resistance and low arterial compliance) in the elderly. 相似文献

Hypertonic acetate solution in small volumes greatly improves cardiac output and corrects acid-base disturbances in hemorrhaged animals. We hypothesized that the combination of alpha alpha-crosslinked human hemoglobin (alpha alpha Hb), an oxygen carrier and vasoconstrictor, with hypertonic sodium acetate (HAHb), a vasodilator, may be effective for small volume resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. Six pigs hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg for 60 min (bled volume: 23.6 +/- 2.5 ml.kg-1) received a single bolus of 4 ml.kg-1 of HAHb infused over two min. HAHb restored arterial pressure, increased systemic vascular resistance and caused a modest increase in cardiac output and SvO2, while pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance were markedly increased. In two animals, transient severe hypotension and low cardiac output may have been due to acute pulmonary hypertension during injection. Compared to our previous study, in which animals received 4 ml-kg-1 of alpha alpha Hb alone, HAHb produced higher cardiac output and a smaller increase in systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance. However, slower, titrated infusions may be needed when hemoglobin solutions are combined with drugs or solutions that cause vasodilation in order to decrease the likelihood of acute hemodynamic instability. 相似文献

Cardiac catheterization and submaximal exercise testing was performed in 38 patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TF), and compared to 6 control patients who had functional murmurs. Cardiac index, heart rate, and stroke volume index were significantly lower in the TF group than in the control group. Right and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure increased significantly during exercise, which was not found in the control group. Total pulmonary vascular resistance (TPVR), which decreased significantly with exercise in the control group, did not change remarkably during exercise. TPVR was significantly higher in the TF group than in the control group both at rest and during exercise. Several factors were compared between patients with good cardiac index (> 5.0 l/min/m2; Group 1) and poor cardiac index (< 5.0 l/min/m2; Group 2) during exercise. Stroke volume index, right ventricular ejection fraction at rest were significantly higher in Group 1 than Group 2. TPVR, right and left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index were significantly lower in Group 1 than in Group 2. There was no significant difference in heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, residual pulmonary stenosis, right to left ventricular systolic pressure ratio, and severity of pulmonary regurgitation between two groups. These findings indicate that abnormalities of exercise tolerance in patients after repair of TF were related to poor response of heart rate, pulmonary vascular resistance, and systolic and diastolic ventricular function. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Advanced laparoscopic procedures are more commonly performed in elderly patients with cardiac disease. There has been limited data on the use of pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to monitor hemodynamic changes. METHODS: We prospectively studied eight patients undergoing laparoscopic assisted abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. All patients had a PAC and all but one had an intraoperative TEE. Data included heart rate (HR), temperature (temp), pulmonary artery systolic (PAS) and diastolic (PAD) pressures, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), cardiac index (CI), mixed venous oxygen saturation (MVO2), and oxygen extraction ratio (O2Ex) and was obtained prior to induction, during insufflation, after desufflation, during aortic cross-clamp, and at the end of the procedure. End diastolic area (EDA), a reflection of volume status, was measured on TEE. ANOVA was used for data analysis. RESULTS: No changes were noted in HR, temp, PAS, PCWP, CI, MVO2, and O2Ex. PAD and CVP were greater during insufflation compared with baseline and aortic cross-clamp without associated changes in EDA. MAP was higher at baseline compared with all other times during the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Insufflation increased PAD and CVP. However, volume status as suggested by EDA and PCWP did not change. These data question the reliability of hemodynamic measurements obtained from the PAC during pneumoperitoneum and suggest that TEE may be sufficient for evaluation of volume status along with the added benefit of timely detection of ventricular wall motion abnormalities. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To look for the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on oxygenation and pulmonary hemodynamics during acute hypercapnia in acute respiratory failure. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, experimental study. SETTING: University research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Ten piglets, weighing 9 to 13 kg. INTERVENTIONS: Acute respiratory failure was induced by oleic acid infusion and repeated lung lavages with 0.9% sodium chloride. The protocol consisted of three randomly assigned periods with different PaCO2 levels. Tidal volume was reduced to induce hypercapnia. Inspiratory time was prolonged to achieve similar mean airway pressures. During permissive hypercapnia, pH was not corrected. At each PaCO2 period, the animals were ventilated with inhaled nitric oxide of 10 parts per million and without nitric oxide inhalation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Continuous hemodynamic monitoring included right atrial, mean pulmonary arterial, and mean systemic arterial pressures, arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturations, and continuous flow recording at the pulmonary artery. In addition, airway pressures, tidal volumes, dynamic lung compliance and airway resistance, end-tidal CO2 concentrations, and arterial and mixed venous blood gases were measured. Data were obtained at baseline and after lung injury, at normocapnia, at two levels of hypercapnia with and without nitric oxide inhalation. Acute hypercapnia resulted in a significant decrease in blood pH and a significant increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure. There was no significant change in PaO2 during normocapnia and hypercapnia. Inhaled nitric oxide significantly decreased the mean pulmonary arterial pressure during both hypercapnic periods. It significantly improved oxygenation during both normocapnia and hypercapnia. CONCLUSIONS: Acute hypercapnia resulted in a significant increase in pulmonary arterial pressure without influencing oxygenation and cardiac output. Inhaled nitric oxide significantly reduced the pulmonary hypertension induced by acute permissive hypercapnia but did not influence the flow through the pulmonary artery. Inhaled nitric oxide significantly improved oxygenation in this model of acute lung injury during normocapnia and acute hypercapnia. 相似文献

After the administration of Dopamine to 20 patients after cardiac surgery pulmonary shunt volume was determined with regard to the cardiac output and pulmonary pressure. It was shown that the infusion of Dopamine leads to decrease of the arterio-venous oxygen difference (AVDO2) as well as to the decrease of the PO2 in the arterial blood. On the contrary, in venous bood, PO2, Oxygen saturation, content and pulmonary pressure increased. The increase of the pulmonary right-to-left shunt observed (Qs Qt form 14.9 to 19.2%) is in proportion with the increase in cardiac output. Hence we do not suppose a specific shunting effect of Dopamine. Our findings suggest, that in the case of an already reduced blood oxygen level a further fall of the arterial oxygen saturation caused by a shunt must be avoided by additional enrichment of oxygen content of the inspired air. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To compare the efficacy of intravenous (iv) nicardipine with nitroglycerin for the treatment for patients with perioperative hypertension. METHODS: Forty patients with perioperative hypertension randomly divided into two groups were treated with intravenous calcium entry blocker, nicardipine, or vasodilator, nitroglycerin. Haemodynamic measurements including mean arterial and pulmonary arterial pressure, central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac output were recorded; peripheral and pulmonary vascular resistance were calculated. RESULTS: Both medications were effective in reducing blood pressure and controlling haemodynamics. During the maintenance by continuous iv infusion, nicardipine controlled hypertension more rapidly than nitroglycerin (nicardipine 10.5 +/- 2.5 min and nitroglycerin 18.7 +/- 2.8 min, p < 0.05) without significant alteration in heart rate. The total frequency of dose adjustments required to achieve therapeutic response was significantly less in the nicardipine-treated group (2.5 +/- 0.3 for nicardipine and 6.2 +/- 1.4 for nitroglycerin, p < 0.05). Incidence of hypotensive episodes during the infusion were observed in both groups [nicardipine 5% (1/20) and nitroglycerin 30% (6/20), p < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous nicardipine is as effective as nitroglycerin in the treatment of perioperative hypertension. Specific advantages have been identified such as stable dose-response effect, less hypotensive and tachycardial effects during the use of iv nicardipine in treatment of hypertensive patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Monitoring left ventricular preload is critical to achieve adequate fluid resuscitation in patients with hypotension and sepsis. This prospective study tested the correlation of the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, the left ventricular end-diastolic area index measured by transesophageal echocardiography, the arterial systolic pressure variation (the difference between maximal and minimal systolic blood pressure values during one mechanical breath), and its delta down (dDown) component (= apneic - minimum systolic blood pressure) with the response of cardiac output to volume expansion during sepsis. METHODS: Preload parameters were measured at baseline and during graded volume expansion (increments of 500 ml) in 15 patients with sepsis-induced hypotension who required mechanical ventilation. Each volume-loading step (VLS) was classified as a responder (increase in stroke volume index > or = 15%) or a nonresponder. Successive VLSs were performed until a nonresponder VLS was obtained. RESULTS: Thirty-five VLSs (21 responders) were performed. Fluid loading caused an overall significant increase in pulmonary artery occlusion pressure and end-diastolic area index, and a significant decrease in systolic pressure variation and delta down (P < 0.01). There was a significant difference between responder and nonresponder VLSs in end-diastolic area index, systolic pressure variation, and dDown, but not in pulmonary artery occlusion pressure. Receiver-operator curve analysis showed that dDown was a more accurate indicator of the response of stroke volume index to volume loading than end-diastolic area index and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure. A dDown component of more than 5 mmHg indicated that the stroke volume index would increase in response to a subsequent fluid challenge (positive and negative predictive values: 95% and 93%, respectively). CONCLUSION: The dDown component of the systolic pressure variation is a sensitive indicator of the response of cardiac output to volume infusion in patient with sepsis-induced hypotension who require mechanical ventilation. 相似文献

To indirectly test the hypothesis whether serotonin (5-HT) might have a role in the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, we evaluated the haemodynamic and gas exchange response of intravenous ketanserin (K), a 5-HT receptor inhibitor, in eight severe but stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with secondary pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa) 30.3 +/- 7.3 mmHg). Measurements were done at baseline, after oxygen breathing (2 L.min-1), K bolus (6-15 mg) and finally during oxygen breathing (2 L.min-1) added to K infusion (3-6 mg.h-1). K bolus induced a significant reduction of mean Ppa (p < 0.05), mean systemic arterial pressure (p < 0.01) and total systemic resistance (p < 0.01). Cardiac index (+7%), oxygen delivery (+7%) and pulmonary vascular resistance (magnitude of the reduction: -12%) did not change significantly. When oxygen was added to K infusion, the cardiac index significantly dropped when compared to K bolus (p < 0.05), but oxygen delivery remained stable because of the resulting increase in arterial oxygen concentration; against baseline, the mean Ppa showed the same magnitude of reduction as with oxygen breathing or K bolus alone (p < 0.05). Ventilation and gas exchange were not significantly influenced by K bolus. When we individually analysed the changes of pulmonary vascular resistances by plotting the driving pressure through the pulmonary circulation against the cardiac output, we observed that an active vasodilating effect on the pulmonary circulation occurred with K in only one patient, while in three other patients there was rather a recruitment effect of the pulmonary vessels due to the systemic effects of the drug. In conclusion, this study of a small number of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associated with pulmonary hypertension shows that the parenterally given serotonin antagonist ketanserin predominantly affects the systemic circulation. Our results do not support the hypothesis that in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with pulmonary hypertension, serotonin might have a role in the increase of pulmonary vascular tone. 相似文献
