Introduction: There is no single criterion available to assess the hemodynamic state of new-born infants and preterm infants and the different variables in the group of newborns, such as gestational age, birth weight, and periods of birth. Methods: This is an epidemiological, cross-sectional, descriptive observational study with two patient cohorts. Newborn-to-term and preterm neonates assisted at the Neonatal Unit of the Pablo Arturo Suarez Hospital participated during the months between November 2019 to January 2020. Results: Ultrasound measurement of the vena cava (FVC) flow is useful for the management treatment of hemodynamically unstable neonatal patients. The sample was made up of 110 newborns treated in the Pablo Arturo Suarez Hospital's neonatology service from November 2019 to January 2020. Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador. The variables low birth weight and moder-ate prematurity have a statistically significant value for inotropic use. The other variables do not present statistically significant values. Heart rate, urinary output, mean blood pressure, lactic acid, capillary filling, upper vena cava flow, and lower vena cava flow had statistically significant values. FVCI and FVCS comparisons with heart rate, urinary output, mean blood pressure, lactic acid, and capillary filling had statistically significant values, except for capil-lary filling> 3 sec in FCVI. Multivariate analysis of categorical main components (CATPCA) was used to characterize the hemodynamic state and inotropic state, which were significant in the bivariate analysis. Dimension, one of the two-dimensional graphs, discriminates the use or not of inotropics and the categories of hemodynamic parameters TAM <35 mmHg, lactic acid, capillary filling, FVCI, and FVCS. Dimension II discriminates between the categories of urinary expenditure and HR. Conclusion: In term and preterm infants with low weight and adequate birth weight with hemodynamic instability in general, who were evaluated with ultrasonography to measure the flow of the vena cava, the agreement between the clinical criteria and the ultrasound assessment of the flow was 0.4 cm/sec in both methods. This situation means that the measurement of venous cava flows by echo sonography is useful for assessing neonatal patients' hemodynamic status.

Abstract Background Keeping the heart rate within the normal range has improved the survival of septic shock patients. Amiodarone could target the underlying pathophysiology of sepsis-induced tachycardia. This study aimed to determine whether amiodarone is effective in controlling the heart rate in critically ill patients with septic shock and sustained tachycardia who were receiving vasopressor. Methods In this prospective, single-arm cohort study, 46 patients with septic shock and tachycardia were enrolled to receive a loading dose of amiodarone 150 mg, then continuous infusion of 1 mg/min. The primary outcome was the ability of amiodarone in rate control lower than 95 beats per minute (BPM) and maintaining it during 24-h study period. We also recorded the effect of amiodarone on hemodynamic indices as the secondary outcomes. Results The results of the present study indicated a significant decrease in HR in septic shock patients for amiodarone, from 121.0 (116.5, 140.0) at baseline to 91.5(89.3, 108.0) at the end of the study period (p < 0.001). During the study period, a total of 26 (56.52%) of patients achieved the target heart rate lower than 95 BPM and maintained it during study period. Amiodarone decreased HR by 22.8 ± 13.7. While receiving amiodarone infusion, the values for heart rate, mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, norepinephrine infusion rate, and stroke volume index changed significantly between amiodarone initiation and 24-h follow-up (P < 0.001). Amiodarone was well tolerated, because this anti-arrhythmic agent did not increase the need for vasopressor and none of the patients experienced episodes of refractory hypotension. Conclusion This study showed that amiodarone infusion successfully reduced the heart rate in sepsis-induced tachycardia. The patients had improved hemodynamic state as indicated by an increase in cardiac index and SVI.

Objective. To explore the clinical application of dynamic volume CT multiparameter imaging in the observation of penile hemodynamics in patients with abnormal vascular erections. Methods. 90 patients with suspected vascular abnormal erections treated in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2020 were included in the study, and 40 patients with psychologically abnormal erections were selected for the control. The corpus cavernosum injection vasoactive drug test (ICI) and dynamic volume CT and Doppler ultrasound were used to test the hemodynamics of the corpus cavernosum of all selected patients and to analyze the changes of penile length, circumference, systolic peak flow rate, diastolic peak flow rate, and blood flow resistance index in different types of penile erection disorder patients before and after ICI test. Results. Among the 90 patients with suspected vascular abnormal erection, 34 patients had arterial abnormal erection, 25 patients had venous abnormal erection, and 31 patients had mixed vascular abnormal erection. In patients with arterial abnormal erection and mixed vascular abnormal erection, penile cavernous body diameter, PSV, and abnormal erection V are smaller than those in patients with venous abnormal erection and psychological abnormal erection, while arterial abnormal erection and psychological abnormal erection are obviously higher in RI than venous abnormal erection and mixed vascular abnormal erection, and the difference is statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before the ICI test, there was no significant difference in the penis circumference and length between the four groups of patients with arterial abnormal erection, venous abnormal erection, mixed vascular abnormal erection, and psychological abnormal erection ( P > 0.05 ); after the ICI test, patients with arterial abnormal erections had significantly shorter penis perimeter and penis length than those with venous abnormal erections, mixed vascular abnormal erections, and psychological abnormal erections ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Dynamic volume CT can clearly reflect the penile hemodynamic state of patients with vascular abnormal erections, provide a powerful diagnostic basis for accurately and effectively determining the classification of vascular abnormal erections, and be worthy of popularization and clinical use.

HIGHLIGHTS1. Uterus couvelaire, also known as uteroplacental apoplexy, is one of the causative post-partum haemorrhage and peripartum hysterectomy.2. The pathophysiology of uterus couvelaire are bleeding in the layer between the decidua-placenta, which then develops and infiltrates into the uterine wall.3. The uterine couvelaire is associated with placental abruption, placenta previa, coagulopathy, pre-eclampsia, uterine rupture, and amniotic fluid embolism.4. This case report shows the unknown of causative during delivery which can lead to maternal morbidity even mortality if there is no proper maternal monitoring during delivery.ABSTRACTObjectives: To discuss the discovery of uterine couvelaire events after the cesarean section without accompanying placental abruption.Case Report: Uterus Couvelaire is a rare occurrence. The incidence of this case is difficult to ascertain and its estimated incidence is as much as 20% and others’ estimatation is as low as 5%. It occurs mainly due to complications from placental abruption. When a vascular injury occurs in the placenta, it causes bleeding that infiltrates the wall of the uterus. This case is usually diagnosed accidentally because it is diagnosed only by direct visualization or biopsy. In this case, uterine couvelaire was found in a woman after a cesarean section that had been performed previously. Uterine couvelaire events are usually seen due to complications from placental abruption, but in this case, there was none.Conclusion: It was not known for sure what caused the emergence of the uterine couvelaire in this case. Hysterectomy was performed in this case due to the patient's unstable hemodynamic state.

The case of a young Moroccan doctor who spent Four months in Congo as part of an international humanitarian military mission; he underwent surgery under spinal anesthesia for an anal fissure a week after being returned to Morocco, In the seventh-day postoperative period, acute renal failure with anuria set in, justifying the patient's transfer to an intensive care unit. Upon admission, on the eighth postoperative day, one day after readmission to the emergency room and was put on triple antibiotic therapy ,and  liquid resuscitation was carried out immediately by infusion of saline isotonic solution and due to the non-improvement of the hemodynamic state after volume repletion, a vasoactive support was rapidly introduced at the initial dose of 0.2 ug / kg / min, the intravenous quinine was not immediately introduced in the emergency room because the initial thick, thin film and malaria blood smear carried out on  admission were negative and the postoperative clinical context argued in favor of bacterial septic shock. A sepsis context not ruled out (blood cultures performed); a surgical revision the morning of his admission to the intensive care by under umbilical laparotomy, didn’t showed an intra-abdominal collection. Parallelly a thick film (30% of parasitized red blood cells) revealing P. falciparum, and blood smear were performed again and came back positive after a positive malaria antigen detection of specific IgMs in the indirect immunofluorescence, confirming the diagnosis. The mode of infection; is associated with the end of chemoprophylaxis rigorously followed up till Finally, the possibility of pernicious malaria aggravating the initial acute renal failure and hipocalcemia is also discussed.

Background: Miniaturization of endoscopic instruments in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) allowed less invasive procedures with low complication rates, especially in children. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography-guided (USG) versus fluoroscopy-guided (FG) mini-PCNL in children.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective comparative study conducted from June 2015 to June 2020. The sample included 70 children (35 pateints underwent USG mini-PCNL and 35 pateints underwent FG mini-PCNL). They were compared mainly by the patients’ demographic characteristics, procedural information, and post-treatment outcomes. In the USG mini-PCNL group, puncturing was performed using a 3.5 MHz US probe, whereas fluoroscopy was utilized in the FG mini- PCNL group. Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of gender, previous history of failed ESWL, and hydronephrosis grade. The mean stone burden was 15.94 ± 3.69 mm and 19.20 ± 7.41 mm in USG and FG groups, respectively (p = 0.024). The stonefree rate (SFR) was 97.1% in the USG group and 94.3% in the FG group, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.16). Mean operative time in the USG group and FG group was 69.00 ± 13.33 minutes and 63.48 ± 16.90 minutes, respectively. Four (11.4%) patients in the FG group required blood transfusions to restore the hemodynamic state (p = 0.039). Fever was detected in 4 (11.4%) patients in the USG group and 15 (31.4%) patients in the FG group (p = 0.041). Conclusions: In children, mini PCNL under USG is safe and as effective as fluoroscopy.

The descending aortic aneurysm is one of the most catastrophic cardiovascular emergencies resulting in high mortality worldwide. Clinical observations have pointed out that stent implantation in the sick aorta should probably allow stabilization of the hemodynamic state of the patient's aorta. To better understand the hemodynamic impact of a stent-treated aneurysm, numerical simulations are used to evaluate hemodynamic parameters. These latter including flow profile, velocity distribution, aortic wall pressure and shear stress, which are difficult to measure in vivo. It should be noted that the numerical modeling assists in medical planning by providing patterns of blood circulation, in particular, the distribution of pressures and shear stresses in the wall. In this context, the pulsatile blood flow in the aneurysmal aorta with stent is studied by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. Realistic boundary conditions time dependent are prescribed at the level of the different arteries of the complete aorta models. The hemodynamic profile of the aneurysmal aorta with stent was analyzed by contour planes of velocity vectors, pressures and shear stresses at different times during the cardiac cycle. The obtained results made it possible to show the effect of the stent on the improvement of the blood flow by solving the problems of hemodynamic disturbances in the aorta.  The methodology used in this work has revealed detailed and necessary information for the cases studied and shows the interest of the numerical tool for diagnosis and surgery.

Background: A variety of spinal surgery procedures are performed on patients with different cardiac, vascular, and respiratory comorbidities. Postoperative pain management is a major determinant of hemodynamic and respiratory status in these patients and promotes clinical results, prevents complications, saves health services, and improves the quality of life of patients. Objectives: We compared the effects of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on pain control after spinal surgery. Methods: Sixty patients aged 18 - 65 years undergoing spinal surgery were randomized into the two groups of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil. The dexmedetomidine group (group D, n = 30) received dexmedetomidine infusion (0.6 mcg/kg/h), and the remifentanil group (group R, n = 30) received remifentanil infusion (0.1 mcg/kg/min) from induction of anesthesia until extubation. Propofol (1.5 mg/kg) and fentanyl (2mcg/kg) were used to initiate anesthesia, and propofol (100 - 150 mcg/kg/min) was infused to maintain anesthesia. Postoperative pain, hemodynamic parameters, and recovery characteristics were evaluated after surgery. Results: The mean pain intensity in the dexmedetomidine group was significantly lower than in the remifentanil group (2.98 ± 1.29 vs. 3.80 ± 1.1; P < 0.001). Hemodynamic changes in the dexmedetomidine group (MAP: 92.60 ± 5.56, HR: 73.07 ± 7) were less, and their condition was significantly more stable than in the remifentanil group (MAP: 93.85 ± 4.78, HR: 79.15 ± 7.03; P < 0.05). The mean arterial oxygen saturation (O2 sat) in the dexmedetomidine group was significantly higher and more stable than in the remifentanil group (98.87 ± 0.51 vs. 97.92 ± 0.46; P < 0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group compared to the remifentanil group (P < 0.05). The administration of analgesics in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) was significantly higher in the remifentanil group than the dexmedetomidine group (P = 0.016). Conclusions: Anesthetic maintenance with either dexmedetomidine or remifentanil infusion until extubation provided more smooth and hemodynamically stable conditions, without complications. However, dexmedetomidine provides better analgesia, causes a more stable hemodynamic state, and reduces postoperative nausea-vomiting, shivering, and the need for analgesics.

Abstract Background: Sufentanil is widely used during anesthesia induction. However, sufentanil injections can cause cough through different mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a small dose of oxycodone and sufentanil in suppressing sufentanil-induced cough (SIC) during general anesthesia induction.Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted form February 12, 2019 to December 30, 2019. A total of 174 patients were scheduled for elective surgery, and 144 screened patients were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=48). Five minutes before sufentanil bolus (0.4 μg/kg), patients in group O received 0.02 mg/kg oxycodone intravenously within 5 s, those in group S received 0.02 μg/kg sufentanil within 5 s and those in group N received an equal volume of 0.9% normal saline within 5 s. Sufentanil was diluted to 5 μg/ml and administered within 5 s after pretreatment. The incidence and severity of cough in the three groups were evaluated within 1 minute after sufentanil injection during anesthesia induction. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at T0 (after entering the operation), T1 (3 minutes after pretreatment), T2 (before intubation), and T3 (1 minute after intubation).Results: The incidences of cough in group N, group O, and group S were 20 (41.6%), 7 (14.5%), and 6 (12.5%), respectively. Compared with group N, group O and group S exhibited significantly reduced incidence and severity of cough, and the severity of cough in group O and group S was dramatically reduced compared with that in group N (P<0.05). No significant differences in the rangeability of MAP and HR were noted at the four time points in the three groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Intravenous oxycodone (0.02 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.02 μg/kg) represent effective approaches to reducing SIC in anesthesia induction and ensuring a relatively stable hemodynamic state during general anesthesia induction.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900021087, registered date: January 28, 2019), http://www.chictr.org.cn
