Comparative StudyEvaluation of the Paratrend 7 intravascular blood gas monitor during cardiac surgery: comparison with the C4000 in-line blood gas monitor during cardiopulmonary bypass.
To evaluate the performance of the Paratrend 7 intravascular blood gas monitor (Biomedical Sensors, High Wycombe, UK, Ltd) during cardiac surgery and compare it with that of an in-line blood gas monitor placed in the arterial limb of an extracorporeal circuit during cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ The intravascular sensor used in this study functioned well during cardiopulmonary bypass and the postbypass phase. The performance of the intravascular sensor was better than the in-line blood gas monitor during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of the use of a propofol infusion in cardiac surgical patients with normal and low cardiac output states.
This study compared the hemodynamic effects of a propofol infusion with fentanyl analgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with normal and low cardiac output states. Low cardiac output was defined as a cardiac index less than 2.5 L/min/m2 with a minimum pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 7 mmHg. ⋯ The use of a propofol infusion for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in patients with low cardiac output states undergoing cardiac surgery is not contraindicated.
