Traditional monitoring, using vital signs alone, has been shown to be inadequate in the shock settings. In these cases, an early application of flow parameters in a goal-directed protocol can lead to the significant clinical and economic benefits. Simultaneously, there has been the need for the adequate microcirculatory monitoring. Due to this, modern technologies has provided a large number of sophisticated monitors, particularly in the past decade. Among these are GI tonometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, tissue oxygen tension by means of implantable electrodes, visualization of sublingual microcirculatory perfusion ...

Conclusions: 1. The main indication for surgical treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma is massive haemoptysis but the operations under those conditions lead to increased morbidity and mortality. 2. Extensive decortication of the lung increases the number of patients with postoperative bleeding and the need for rethoracotomy. 3. Postoperative air leak and residual pleural space requires prolonged chest tube drainage, but the need for surgical treatment is seldom.

TORAKOCHIRURGIA Surgical considerations in the therapy of pleural empyemaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The therapy of pleural empyema requires a differential approach with regard to: general state of patient, dimensions and empyema location, disease duration, coexisting lung pathology and surgical experience. Superior results are achieved with early stages of pleural empyema using antibiotic therapy, pleural drainage along or with the administration of fibrinolytics or videothoracoscopy. Empyemas in the late, fibropurulent or organization stage usually require thoracotomy with decortication. Serious general condition, coexisting conditions and surgical complications are associated with a high percentage of fat...

Chronic kidney disease is one of the most important clinical problems of modern medicine. Its prevalence is high worldwide and it carries significant cardiovascular risk. Consequently, chronic kidney disease is associated with excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The staging of chronic kidney disease into 5 phases is based on the chronic presence of injury markers in the urine, of which the most important is microalbuminuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. The nature of this staging results in large variation of cardiovascular risk within the whole entity. The progressive character of chronic kidney...

The authors present a case of a 59-year-old man admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism. After an additional diagnostic process including multislice computed tomography of pulmonary arteries, chest and abdomen the patient was sent to surgery where, besides the emboli, a tumour of the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries was removed. On the basis of immunohistochemistry the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, high grade, was established. The authors analyzed the pre-surgery symptoms of this rare tumour and concluded that the pulmonary embolism can obscure them. Only surgery can prolong the patient...
