Because sevoflurane is used in children, the aim of this open nonrandomized trial was to explore the feasibility and acceptance of this technique in midazolam premedicated patients aged from 4 to 15 years old. A pediatric population (n = 118) was instructed in the vital capacity technique after their arrival in the induction room in a standardized and playful manner. Induction was performed with a circle-absorber breathing circuit, primed with sevoflurane 7% in 100% O2. Success of the single-breath vital capacity, delay of induction, hemodynamic and airway tolerance, acceptance by the children and side effects were analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify independent risk factors associated with the failure of the vital capacity technique. Single-breath vital capacity technique was achieved by 57% of the children. The success rate highly correlated with age and ranged from 10% in 4-5 years old to 75% at 11 years and 95% by 14 years. Other factors for success were cooperation and understanding. The need for more than two explanations of the technique was predictive of failure. Delays in the loss of the eyelash reflex and central pupil myosis were obtained in 34 s (18-50) and 242 s (145-278), respectively [median (interquartile ranges)]. Hemodynamic tolerance was good with few airway complications. Rapid anesthesia induction using a single-breath technique with 7% sevoflurane is effective and well tolerated in children, particularly in those above 9 years of age, and in fact, success rate was markedly lower in the young age groups.

Few studies exist focusing on ICU hospitalisation after colorectal surgery. The objective of the study was to 1) detect predictive factors of mortality and length of stay in ICU after colorectal procedures, and 2) compare the autonomy status of the patients before and 30 days after their ICU stay.Patients

Results of 32 hepatectomies in 27 patients.Study aim: Liver resections for metastases are commonly performed in colorectal primary tumors and poorly documented in non colorectal tumors. The aim of this study was to report a series of 32 liver resections in 27 patients for different types of non colorectal, non neuroendocrine liver

Prospective survey conducted during a 12-month period. A 48-bed cardiac surgical department in a teaching hospital. Patients admitted for cardiac surgery between February 2002 and January 2003. Surgical-site infections were diagnosed in 3% of the patients (38 of 1,268). Of the 38 surgical-site infections, 20 were superficial incisional infections and 18 were mediastinitis for incidence rates of 1.6% and 1.4%, respectively. Cultures were positive in 28 cases and the most commonly isolated pathogen was Staphylococcus. A National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System risk index score of 2 or greater was associated with a risk of surgical-site infection (relative risk, 2.4; P &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; .004). Heart transplantation, mechanical circulatory assistance, coronary artery bypass graft with the use of internal mammary artery, and reoperation for cardiac tamponade or pericard effusion were independent risk factors associated with surgical-site infection. Data surveillance using incidence rates stratified by cardiac procedure and type of infection is relevant to improving infection control efforts. Risk factors in patients who developed superficial infection were different from those in patients who developed mediastinitis. Coronary artery bypass graft using internal mammary artery was associated with a high risk of surgical-site infection, and independent factors such as reoperation for cardiac tamponade or pericard effusion increased the risk of infection.

However, the role of the enlarged atria in right ventricular dysfunction after OHT remains unclear. For that purpose, the right ventricular function in the first 2 days after OHT was compared in two groups of transplant recipients: 11 patients who underwent standard OHT (group I) and 9 patients who underwent total OHT, which consisted of total excision of both the left and right atria and OHT of an intact donor heart with its atria as well as its ventricle (group 11). Right ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac index, and right-sided pressures were recorded at baseline and 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after OHT using a Swan-Ganz catheter with a rapid-response thermistor. Right ventricular function parameters did not differ between groups; they were characterized by a decrease in right ventricular ejection ight ventricular failure after orthotopic heart trans-R plantation (OHT) is a common disturbance classically related to preoperative pulmonary hypertension [l]. However, the role of atrial transport in ventricular pump performance is controversial in the transplant recipient, because atrial size and geometry are altered in OHT [2]. In acute right ventricular dysfunction, Goldstein and associates [3] showed that increased right atrial contraction and intact atrioventricular synchrony enhance ventricular filling and performance and are important determinants of cardiac output. A pacing study by Midei and colleagues [4] clearly demonstrated the significant atrial contribution to cardiac performance in patients after OHT. Total orthotopic heart transplantation is an alternative to the standard technique [5, 61. This technique could avoid asynchronous atrial contraction and thus atrioventricular valvar regurgitation as well as thrombus formation. Nevertheless, the advantages of this technique over the welldefined standard technique remain to be evaluated. For that purpose, we analyzed the right ventricular function in patients who underwent transplantation with the standard technique or with the modified technique (total cardiectomy) by using a thermodilution method in the first 2 days after operation.

All patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery between 1995 and 1997, and were suspected of having a history of cirrhosis, were followed in the intensive care unit (ICU), during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. All patients received high doses of aprotinin during surgery. Ten patients of Child-Pugh class A and 2 patients of Child-Pugh class B were studied. All patients had signs of portal hypertension, and 11 of 12 patients had thrombocytopenia. In the first 24 h after operation, the median chest tube output was 810 mL (range 350 to 1,500 mL). Median ICU and hospital stays were 3 and 15 days, respectively (range 2 to 10 and 7 to 36 days, respectively). Seven patients experienced postoperative morbidity and 7 patients had significant complications after their hospital discharge. One death occurred in the ICU. Two deaths occurred after hospital discharge and were related to further hepatic damage. These results suggest that, in patients with mild or moderate cirrhosis, the incidence of significant complications was high after elective cardiac surgery, increasing the length of stay in ICU and overall hospitalization time and compromising the health status, even well after the operation.
