Management of Metabolic Acidosis in the Post-Cardiac Surgical Patient

Jeevan Francis, Sneha Prothasis, Richard Varghese, Midhuna Jomon, Rexy Roy, Keith Buchan

Abstract

The base deficit is the best way to evaluate severity of Metabolic Acidosis (MA). It indicates a value corresponding to the number of mmol/L below 24 of the measured bicarbonate concentration. Base deficit between 0 and 5 mmol/L indicates that the patient is not at risk of immediate harm. Arterial blood gases are typically measured every 2-4 ho

Abstract

Isolated Coronary Artery Stenoses (CAS) involving the ostium of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery is very challenging, especially in a setting of primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI). Intimal atherosclerosis in the Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) bifurcation is primarily in area of low shear stress which is the lateral w

Abstract

Rationale: A novel COVID-19 with a severe acute respiratory syndrome or pneumonia had arisen in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Emerging atrial fibrillation in COVID-19 patients is highly significant in cardiovascular medicine. A newly coronary artery spasm in the presentation of COVID-19 infection has certainly a risk impact on both morbidity

Abstract

Background: Diabetes carries a two-fold risk of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN), often progressing to Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN, critically low parasympathetic tone [P]), increases death 3.5-fold over 5 years, half sudden or non-renal. Oxidative stress is a major cause of DAN. Also, increased symp

Abstract

Background: Over one billion people have Hypertension (HTN); mortality and morbidity are increasing. The Parasympathetic and Sympathetic (P&S) nervous systems prominently affect the onset and progression of HTN, yet P&S measures are not used to assist in management. Our objective was to determine the feasibility of HTN control using P&S-guided
