Daptomycin for multi-drug resistant gram (+) infections in heart surgery patients: a single centre experience

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon (2010)

A. Beiras-Fernandez Stephan Kiefer F. Kur Ralf Sodian M Weis

Objectives: Surgical infection remains a main cause of death after heart surgery, in spite of the advances in pharmacological therapy. Daptomycin (Dap) is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, useful in gram(+) organisms resistant to standard treatment, including vancomycin. Our aim was to describe the use of Dap in patients with multi-drug resistant gram(+) infections after heart surgery.

Schwangerschaft bei funktionell univentrikulärem Herz der Mutter – Strukturelle Voraussetzungen zur Betreuung dieser Hochrisikoschwangerschaften

Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde (2016)

Darren C. Tomlinson C Deppe H. Kaemmerer Roman Polanetz B. Heineking

Zielsetzung: Eine Schwangerschaft bei maternalem univentrikulären Herz stellt für Mutter und Fetus eine Hochrisikosituation dar. Die etwa 90 weltweit publizierten Schwangerschaften sind durch die Komplexität der Befunde sehr heterogen. Thrombembolien, Rhythmusstörungen, Myokardversagen und Letalität sind mütterliche, Aborte und Frühgeburtlichkeit fetale Risiken.

Gender Differences in Surgical Patients Suffering from Active Infective Endocarditis (AIE)

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon (2018)

S. Eifert Andreas Oberbach F. Kur Pascal M. Dohmen Jens Garbade

Objectives: Epidemiological studies demonstrated a gender related impact on AIE incidence. Data from animal studies suggested the protective effect of estrogen against endothelial cell damage. From clinical perspective, if AIE is present and surgery required, female gender seems to become an independent predictor for increased risk of early mortality. The aim of our prospective observational cohort study was to evaluate the impact of gender on presentation and outcome in AIE patients.

Use of methylene blue in the treatment of refractory hypotension after assist device implantation: report of five consecutive cases

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon (2011)

Stephen L. Michel Dirk Bruegger Ralf Sodian Andrés Beiras-Fernández F. Kur

Introduction: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with vasoplegia is a common complication after cardiac surgery and especially after assist device implantation. It is usually treated with vasoconstrictors (norepinephrine, vasopressin). In some cases, however, systemic vascular resistanace remains low, even with high dosages of these drugs. Methylene blue (MB), a guanylate cyclase inhibitor, maybe an additional therapeutical approach in such situations.

ICG clearance is a relevant outcome prediction tool in cardiac surgery

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon (2013)

A. Beiras-Fernandez Florian Weis Erich Kilger L Adnan Kirsten Nassau

Objective: Predicting outcome is a significant challenge in cardiac surgery. The plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green (PDR-ICG) has been shown to predict outcome in subsets of critically ill patients, and derangements of PDR-ICG seem to be associated with adverse outcome in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. This prospective observational trial was designed to evaluate the potential role of PDR-ICG as an outcome prediction tool in a mixed set of cardiac surgery patients.

Aerosol Bolus Dispersion in Patients with Bronchiolitis Obliterans after Heart-Lung and Double-Lung Transplantation

Journal of Aerosol Medicine (1998)

Peter Brand Ernst M. App Thomas Meyer F. Kur C. Müller

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is one of the main late complications in patients after lung transplantation. Because BO is located in small airways, conventional lung function tests are supposed to be rather insensitive to detect early stages of this disease. In this study, the capability of the aerosol bolus dispersion test to detect BO was tested in 12 subjects with heart-lung and double-lung transplantation. Four of these patients had histological evidence of BO. The broadening (dispersion) of inhaled boluses consisting of monodispersed inert test particles during respiration was repeatedly measured in each subject. Additional measurements of spirometric and bodyplethysmographic measurements were performed. Patients with evidence of BO showed significantly increased aerosol bolus dispersion and significantly reduced maximal airflow parameters. Calculation of receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) revealed that from all lung function parameters under consideration, aerosol bolus dispersion divided by the maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity (MEF50) and MEI50 had the highest sensitivity and specificity for the detection of BO. Both parameters showed a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Therefore, it may be speculated that even in early stages of disease, the combination of MEF50 measurement with aerosol bolus dispersion measurements may be a powerful tool for the detection of BO in patients with lung transplantation.
