Cardioplegia is a solution given to the heart during cardiac surgery, to minimize the damage caused by myocardial ischemia while the heart is paused.

2023年7月24日 · Cardioplegia is an essential component of cardiopulmonary bypass and with the primary goal to reduce myocardial oxygen demand by creating electrical quiescence and cooling the heart to reduce the ischemic effects of being on bypass.

2023年7月12日 · Cardioplegia is a specialized technique used during cardiac surgery to protect and preserve the heart's function. It involves temporarily stopping or slowing the heart's activity while maintaining adequate blood supply to the rest of the body.

2023年7月24日 · Cardioplegia is an essential component of cardiopulmonary bypass and with the primary goal to reduce myocardial oxygen demand by creating electrical quiescence and cooling the heart to reduce the ischemic effects of being on bypass.

Cardioplegia is used on CPB to induce an arrest of the heart. Components of cardioplegia solution are varied in different institutions but include potassium to achieve diastolic arrest.

2023年8月8日 · To accomplish this, a cardioplegia solution can be given anterograde, retrograde, or both. This article focuses on the relevant anatomy, applications, and complications of retrograde cardioplegia for cardiac surgery.

2023年6月5日 · The goal of cardioplegia is to provide a motionless (non-beating) operative field along with the protection of myocardial function. Early cardioplegic methods used cold crystalloid solutions to induce and maintain cardiac arrest during heart surgery.
