Abstract:
Peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is of prime interest in minimally invasive open heart surgery. As CPB is initiated with percutaneous cannulae, venous drainage is impeded due to smaller vessel and cannula size. A new cannula was developed which can change shape in situ and therefore may improve venous drainage. An in vitro circuit was set-up with a penrose latex tubing placed between the preload reservoir and the cannula, encasing the cannula's inlet and simulating the vena cava. The preload (P) was stabilised at 2 and at 5mmHg respectively. The maximum flow rate was det

Abstract:
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), venous drainage may be impeded due to small vessel and cannula size or chattering, thus, blood return to the heart-lung machine is reduced. We designed a self-expandable prototype cannula, which is able to maintain the vein open and overcome this problem and analysed its performance capability. This prototype and several other cannulae were tested using an access vessel diameter of 7 mm. An in vitro circuit was set up with a 10 mm penrose latex tube simulating the patient’s vein placed between the patient preload reservoir and the cannula, encasing the cann

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the radiographic and ultrasonographic appearance of the esophagus of ten healthy horses. Contrast radiography showed variations in the long-axis shape of the esophagus at the thoracic inlet. Administration of a large volume contrast medium by intubation showed stasis of contrast material for several minutes in two of the ten horses. The wall thickness of the non-distended esophagus on ultrasound was 2.6 ± 0.3 mm with significant differences depending on the location. Distention of the esophagus by intubation or by a bolus of water or concentrate result

Abstract:
Introduction: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are at increased risk for early adverse outcomes following heart transplantation (Htx). Despite the need for improved risk stratification, small cohorts have constrained identification of patient-specific factors associated with poor prognosis. We hypothesized that type of CHD, number of sternotomies and prior end-organ dysfunction would be associated with an increased risk for mortality post-HTx. Methods: We performed a retrospective, observational cohort study of all patients with ACHD who underwent HTx at our institution from 1/1997

Abstract:
Injuries to the chest together with damage to the chest organs are among the most frequent injuries in common life. These traumas are often combined with another injury, or they are classified as polytraumas. Care for such patients is provided mainly by trauma centres due to the necessary complex, multi-stage treatment. In the event of an injury to the chest, the chest wall or internal organs in the ribcage may also be injured. These include especially the heart, lungs, main blood vessels, bronchi and throat. A chest injury may endanger the client?s life due to an immediate or potential risk o

Abstract:
The heart, the arteries and veins leaving and entering the heart which are usually referred to as the great vessels, the trachea and bronchi, the oesophagus, and the vagus and phrenic nerves and sympathetic chains occupy the mediastinum , the area in the middle of the thoracic cavity between the two pleural sacs. The anteroposterior dimension of the thorax is narrowest in the mediastinum because of the presence of the thoracic vertebrae posteriorly. Laterally, the pleural sacs enclosing the lungs extend much further back alongside the vertebrae in the areas known as the paravertebral gutters. The great vessels enter and leave the superior aspect of the heart. The large veins draining the head, neck, and arms lie most superficially; they unite to form the superior vena cava that enters the right atrium of the heart. These veins overlie the two large arteries exiting the heart, the aorta, and pulmonary trunk. The aorta has a short ascending part, then forms the aortic arch passing backwards and to the left before continuing down the posterior wall of the thorax as the descending thoracic aorta. The subclavian and common carotid arteries, supplying blood to the arms and head and neck, respectively, arise from the aortic arch. The oesophagus is the deepest structure lying on the vertebrae and the trachea and main bronchi lie superficial to it. The sympathetic chains lie lateral to the vertebral bodies and the vagus and phrenic nerves are in intermediate positions. All these structures will be described in more detail in the rest of this chapter. The mediastinum is divided, for descriptive convenience, into the superior and inferior mediastinum. Figure 12.1 shows the imaginary line of division joining the sternal angle and the intervertebral disc below T4 that demarcates the boundaries of the superior and inferior of the mediastinum. The superior mediastinum occupies the space between the thoracic inlet above and the imaginary horizontal plane. The inferior mediastinum lies below that line and extends as far as the diaphragm. The lateral borders of both subdivisions of the mediastinum are the parietal pleura covering the medial aspect of the lungs, the mediastinal pleura.
