Changes in the hemodynamic profile when establishing mechanical ventilation in patients with ischemic heart disease and coronary disease: Measurement with thoracic bioreactance

Publication date: April–June 2014 Source:Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, Volume 42, Issue 2 Author(s): Ivon Johanna Rodríguez , Juan Carlos Echeverry , Mauricio Abello , Luis Eduardo Cruz Breathing affects cardiac output on a cycle-by-cycle basis, through changes in pressure and intrathoracic volume of key components in cardiovascular function Hence, heart–lung interactions affect cardiovascular functioning and the heart's ability to adapt. The heart–lung interaction is an area of applied physiology broadly studied but in Colombia, this is the first trial ever done with a thoracic bioreactance monitor. The hemodynamic profiles of 38 patients scheduled for myocardial revascularization were measured at the Fundación Clínica Abood Shaio using thoracic bioreactance monitor, which provided ventricular volume and cardiac output measurements. The ventilator volumes and pressures with which corrections were made to interpret the effects of mechanical ventilation were recorded.
