  • An Overview of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Single-Ventricle Patients

Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The population of people with a single-ventricle is continually increasing due to improvements across the spectrum of medical care. Unfortunately, a proportion of these patients will develop heart failure. Often, for these patients, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) represents the only available treatment option. While single-ventricle patients currently represent a small proportion of the total number of patients who receive MCS, as the single-ventricle patient population increases, this number will increase as well. Outcomes for these complex single-ventricle patients who require MCS has begun to be evaluated. When considering the entire population, survival to hospital discharge is 30–50%, though this must be considered with the significant heterogeneity of the single-ventricle patient population.

  • Outcome of the Norwood Operation in Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: a 12-Year Single-Center Survey
    Furck et al Congenital Heart Disease Outcome of the Norwood operation in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome: A 12-year single-center survey Anke Katharina Furck, MD,a Anselm Uebing, MD,a Jan Hinnerk Hansen,a Jens Scheewe, MD,b Olaf Jung, MD,a Gunther Fischer, MD,a Carsten Rickers, MD,a Tim Holland-Letz, MSc,c and Hans-Heiner Kramer, MDa Objective: Recent advances in perioperative care have led to a decrease in mortality of children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing the Norwood operation. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of the Nor- wood operation in a single center over 12 years and to identify clinical and anatomic risk factors for adverse early CHD and longer term outcome. Methods: Full data on all 157 patients treated between 1996 and 2007 were analyzed. Results: Thirty-day mortality of the Norwood operation decreased from 21% in the first 3 years to 2.5% in the last 3 years. The estimated exponentially weighted moving average of early mortality after 157 Norwood oper- ations was 2.3%. Risk factors were an aberrant right subclavian artery, the use and duration of circulatory arrest, and the duration of total support time. The anatomic subgroup mitral stenosis/aortic atresia and female gender tended to show an increased early mortality. In the group of patients who required postoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the ascending aorta was significantly smaller than in the remainder (3.03 Æ 1.05 vs 3.63 Æ 1.41 mm). Interstage mortality was 15% until the initiation of a home surveillance program in 2005, which has zeroed it so far.

Injuries caused by sharp instruments among healthcare workers – international and Polish perspectives. Ann Agric Environ Med. 2012; 19(3): 523-527. Abstract Health care workers (HCW) worldwide are especially exposed to injury by sharp instruments in the course of their duty. The most often executed procedures with injury risk are: intramuscular or subcutaneous injection (22%), taking blood samples, or during intravenous cannulation (20%), and repeatedly replacing the cap on an already used needle (30%). Even a minor sharp injury with only a small loss of blood carries the risk of transfer of over 20 pathogens: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), HIV/AIDS virus, malaria, syphilis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, herpes virus and diphtheria. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than two million health care workers experience the stressful event of a percutaneous injury with a contaminated sharp object each year (25-90% of them, however, remain unreported).
