SummaryBetween January 1990 and March 1992, a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was performed in seven patients under one year of age for palliation of complex cyanotic congenital heart disease. Five cases had tricuspid atresia with a restrictive ventricular septal defect. One case presented with complete mirror imagery, right-sided heart, double inlet and double outlet right ventricle with pulmonary stenosis. Another case had isomerism of the left atrial appendages with common atrioventricular valve and double outlet right ventricle. All had a pulmonary arterial index greater than 250 mm/m2(Nakata index). Age and weights before surgery averaged five months (one to 11 months) and 5.6 kg (range 2.8 to 8.5 kg) respectively. Preoperative mean arterial oxygen saturation measured by cardiac catheterization was 60.05±14% and postoperative mean arterial oxygen saturation on room air was 79.85±6.03% (p<0.05). There were no deaths, although postoperative complications occurred in three patients, namely pleural effusion and pneumothorax. Mean follow-up was 10±4.2 months. The cardiothoracic ratio decreased in all cases. On subsequent echocardiographic studies with pulsed Doppler sampling, low velocity systolic-diastolic forward flow was registered in the pulmonary trunk. The velocity of flow increased clearly during inspiration. The bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt can be considered as primary palliation for complex cardiac malformations with restricted pulmonary flow independent of age and body weight.

In renal hypertension, protoveratrine decreased coronary blood flow, cardiac oxygen consumption, arterial and venous oxygen saturation, coronary arteriovenous oxygen difference, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, cardiac work, cardiac efficiency, cardiac rate, total peripheral resistance, coronary resistance, respiratory rate, and minute volume. The decrease was significant in all functions except coronary blood flow, coronary venous oxygen saturation, and cardiac output. The results of these experiments indicate that in the renal hypertensive animal, a therapeutically beneficial effect was derived from protoveratrine on the circulation by its ability to decrease the work of the heart (lowering the elevated mean arterial pressure) and the coronary vascular resistance while maintaining coronary blood flow and cardiac output within normal levels. The less advantageous effect of protoveratrine on circulation resulted from its respiratory inhibiting effect which reduced the arterial blood oxygen saturation. Although a small decline in coronary venous oxygen saturation was noted, the coronary flow and oxygen delivery in face of the reduced arterial oxygen saturation was apparently adequate to maintain a normal cardiac activity.

Objective The effects of knee-high socks that applied different levels of compression (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mmHg) on various cardio-respiratory and metabolic parameters during submaximal running were analysed. Methods Fifteen well-trained, male endurance athletes (age: 22.2 ± 1.3 years; peak oxygen uptake: 57.2 ± 4.0 mL/minute/kg) performed a ramp test to determine peak oxygen uptake. Thereafter, all athletes carried out five periods of submaximal running (at approximately 70% of peak oxygen uptake) with and without compression socks that applied the different levels of pressure. Cardiac output and index, stroke volume, arterio-venous difference in oxygen saturation, oxygen uptake, arterial oxygen saturation, heart rate and blood lactate were monitored before and during all of these tests. Results Cardiac output ( P = 0.29) and index ( P = 0.27), stroke volume ( P = 0.50), arterio-venous difference in oxygen saturation ( P = 0.11), oxygen uptake ( P = 1.00), arterial oxygen saturation ( P = 1.00), heart rate ( P = 1.00) and arterial lactate concentration ( P = 1.00) were unaffected by compression (effect sizes = 0.00–0.65). Conclusion This first evaluation of the potential effects of increasing levels of compression on cardio-respiratory and metabolic parameters during submaximal exercise revealed no effects whatsoever.

AbstractA combined procedure of a bilateral bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and a central aortopulmonaiy shunt was performed on an 18-year-old boy with pulmonary atresia. Arterial oxygen saturation was elevated after the combined shunt, whereas the ventricular stroke work was reduced. Such a combined shunt is a useful alternative prior procedure which does not produce ventricular overload in older or higher-risk candidates for the Fontan procedure.

AbstractRecently, maintaining a certain oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) range in mechanically ventilated patients was recommended; attaching the INTELLiVENT-ASV to ventilators might be beneficial. We evaluated the SpO2 measurement accuracy of a Nihon Kohden and a Masimo monitor compared to actual arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). SpO2 was simultaneously measured by a Nihon Kohden and Masimo monitor in patients consecutively admitted to a general intensive care unit and mechanically ventilated. Bland–Altman plots were used to compare measured SpO2 with actual SaO2. One hundred mechanically ventilated patients and 1497 arterial blood gas results were reviewed. Mean SaO2 values, Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements, and Masimo SpO2 measurements were 95.7%, 96.4%, and 96.9%, respectively. The Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements were less biased than Masimo measurements; their precision was not significantly different. Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements were not significantly different in the “SaO2 < 94%” group (P = 0.083). In the “94% ≤ SaO2 < 98%” and “SaO2 ≥ 98%” groups, there were significant differences between the Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements (P < 0.0001; P = 0.006; respectively). Therefore, when using automatically controlling oxygenation with INTELLiVENT-ASV in mechanically ventilated patients, the Nihon Kohden SpO2 sensor is preferable.Trial registration UMIN000027671.

1. In a series of rats subjected to hemorrhage and shock a high negative correlation was found between the portal and peripheral venous oxygen saturations and the arterial blood pressure on the one hand, and the blood amino nitrogen levels on the other, and a high positive correlation between the portal and the peripheral oxygen saturations and between each of these and the blood pressure. 2. In five cats subjected to hemorrhage and shock the rise in plasma amino nitrogen and the fall in peripheral and portal venous oxygen saturations were confirmed. Further it was shown that the hepatic vein oxygen saturation falls early in shock while the arterial oxygen saturation showed no alteration except terminally, when it may fall also. 3. Ligation of the hepatic artery in rats did not affect the liver's ability to deaminate amino acids. Hemorrhage in a series of hepatic artery ligated rats did not produce any greater rise in the blood amino nitrogen than a similar hemorrhage in normal rats. The hepatic artery probably cannot compensate to any degree for the decrease in portal blood flow in shock. 4. An operation was devised whereby the viscera and portal circulation of the rat were eliminated and the liver maintained only on its arterial circulation. The ability of such a liver to metabolize amino acids was found to be less than either the normal or the hepatic artery ligated liver and to have very little reserve. 5. On complete occlusion of the circulation to the rat liver this organ was found to resist anoxia up to 45 minutes. With further anoxia irreversible damage to this organ's ability to handle amino acids occurred. 6. It is concluded that the blood amino nitrogen rise during shock results from an increased breakdown of protein in the peripheral tissues, the products of which accumulate either because they do not circulate through the liver at a sufficiently rapid rate or because with continued anoxia intrinsic damage may occur to the hepatic parenchyma so that it cannot dispose of amino acids.
