arrest
▪
Surgical resection proved impossible after he had a cardiac arrest on the operating table.
▪
She was by now in constant crisis; she was suffering repeated cardiac arrests .
▪
About 20% of patients recruited for this study were cardiac arrest survivors.
▪
According to legend, anyone who ever fired the weapon died of a broken heart or cardiac arrest .
▪
A few seconds, but every one vital in the case of a cardiac arrest .
▪
In most cases, diet deaths are simply listed as cases of cardiac arrest .
▪
She then suffered a cardiac arrest 32 hours after admission.
▪
He was in full cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.
arrhythmias
▪
It was therefore not possible to predict, on the basis of patient characteristics, those who would develop cardiac arrhythmias .
▪
Hence patients requiring smaller doses of levodopa who are troubled with nausea cardiac arrhythmias , or hypotension may use this dosage form.
▪
Potential lethal cardiac arrhythmias and convulsions are recognised complications of both iatrogenic and self inflicted overdoses.
▪
One should be aware of the induction of cardiac arrhythmias in older people or those with such a predisposition.
▪
More complicated models for the simulation of cardiac arrhythmias are available for nurses specialising in intensive care work.
▪
While toxic concentrations of these drugs often lead to cardiac arrhythmias , low concentrations have been found to have antiarrhythmic activity.
▪
Supplemental oxygen increases oxygen saturation but does not reduce the incidence of clinically important cardiac arrhythmias .
death
▪
Firstly, cardiac death would be reduced but not death due to stroke.
▪
Secondly, death due to stroke would be reduced but not cardiac death.
▪
Fourthly, neither death due to stroke nor cardiac death would be reduced.
▪
The long-term epidemiological risk factors for sudden cardiac death greatly resemble those for coronary artery disease.
failure
▪
Introduction Cardiac transplantation has now become an accepted therapeutic option for many patients with terminal cardiac failure .
▪
Although the child died, apparently from cardiac failure , the principle of external ventilation had been established.
▪
Blockage of these results in circulatory impediment which may lead eventually to congestive cardiac failure .
▪
All of them eventually died of cardiac failure without the return to normal bowel function.
output
▪
This is more likely following infarction when cardiac output may be reduced and therefore tissue perfusion impaired.
▪
In congestive heart failure, it is diminished because of low cardiac output and reduced arterial distending pressure.
▪
Pathogenesis of Hypertension Blood pressure is dependent upon two factors: cardiac output and peripheral resistance.
▪
Examples: Haemorrhage reduces cardiac output .
▪
There was no cardiac output and resuscitation was abandoned at 1.55 a.m.
surgery
▪
I hope that the waiting list for cardiac surgery will reduce greatly over the next year.
▪
Heart disease, then major cardiac surgery and now what is being described as pneumonia have kept him from work.
▪
Will he urgently encourage all boards to purchase coronary artery bypass surgery and other cardiac surgery from Great Britain?
▪
There was no cardiac surgery unit in the two districts studied.
▪
In addition, cardiac surgery was not carried out in the two districts studied.
▪
Any renal unit serving a district with cardiac surgery facilities would have significantly more patients developing acute postoperative renal failure.
▪
Two different points to consider For many elderly patients it will be decided that cardiac surgery is not clinically indicated.
▪
The rate of stroke in high-risk cardiac surgery patients receiving aprotinin therapy is lower than would be anticipated.
transplantation
▪
As expected, graft atherosclerosis becomes problematical in long term survivors of cardiac transplantation .
▪
Main outcome measures Long term survival in patients after urgent cardiac transplantation and perceived quality of life.
▪
Cost-benefit for performing cardiac transplantation on such seriously ill patients may be looked at more objectively when follow up is longer.
EXAMPLES FROM OTHER ENTRIES
▪
Patients with cardiac problems should avoid foods that are high in salt.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪

▪
As expected, graft atherosclerosis becomes problematical in long term survivors of cardiac transplantation.
▪
Blood was obtained by direct cardiac puncture for cholecystokinin assay.
▪
Firstly, cardiac death would be reduced but not death due to stroke.
▪
For instance, members can now receive radiation oncology, eye surgery, and emergency cardiac care from Summit Medical Center.
▪
Forty percent of Down patients suffer some cardiac problems.
▪
The mechanism is thought to be decreased cardiac venous return associated with the Valsalva maneuver.
▪
Will he urgently encourage all boards to purchase coronary artery bypass surgery and other cardiac surgery from Great Britain?
