Item Effects of short-term hyperoxic ventilation on lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat model: A biochemical evaluation(TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2021-01-01) Aksu, Ugur; Ulugol, Halim; Sungur, Mukadder Orhan; Senturk, Evren; Vardar, Kubra; Senturk, Mert; Toraman, FevziBACKGROUND: Despite studies on the adverse effects of hyperoxia, its use is still recommended by the World Health Organization. The aim of this study was to test the possible harmful effects of hyperoxia on the lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat mechanical ventilation model. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into two groups (n=6/group): Normoxic (FiO(2): 0.3) or hyperoxic (FiO(2): 1.0) ventilation for 4 h. The injury was evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), blood, lung, liver, kidney, and heart was evaluated in terms of cell surface integrity, extracellular matrix (sialic acid, syndecan-1), osmotic stress (free hemoglobin), and redox homeostasis-lipid peroxidaation (malondialdehyde). BAL and wet/dry weight ratio were also evaluated for cellular permeability. RESULTS: Four hours of hyperoxic ventilation did not lead to significant changes in (1) sialic acid, syndecan-1, (2) malondialdehyde levels and wet/dry weight ratio in liver, kidney, heart, and lung compared to normoxic ventilation. CONCLUSION: Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia seems to have almost similar effects compared to ventilation with normoxia. However, the long term effect of hyperoxia should be evaluated.Item Outcomes of home mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy after congenital heart surgery(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-01) Temur, Bahar; Emre, Ismet E.; Aydin, Selim; Onalan, Mehmet A.; Basgoze, Serdar; Ozcan, Esra; Dogruoz, Alper; Erek, ErsinObjective: After congenital heart surgery, some patients may need long-term mechanical ventilation because of chronic respiratory failure. In this study, we analysed outcomes of the patients who need tracheostomy and home mechanical ventilation. Methods: Amongst 1343 patients who underwent congenital heart surgery between January, 2014 and June, 2018, 45 needed tracheostomy and HMV. The median age of these patients was 6.4 months (12 days-6.5 years). Nineteen patients underwent palliation while 26 patients underwent total repair. Post-operative diaphragm plication was performed in five patients (11\%). Median duration of mechanical ventilation before tracheostomy was 32 days (8-154 days). The patients were followed up with their home ventilators in ward and at home. Mean follow-up time was 36.24 +/- 11.61 months. Results: The median duration of ICU stay after tracheostomy was 27 days (range 2-93 days). Follow-up time in ward was median 30 days (2-156 days). A total of 12 patients (26.6\%) were separated from the ventilator and underwent decannulation during hospital stay. Thirty-two patients (71.1\%) were discharged home with home ventilator support. Of them, 15 patients (46.9\%) were separated from the respiratory support in median of 6 weeks (1 week-11 months) and decannulations were performed. Total mortality was 31.1\%. in which four patients are still HMV dependent. There was no significant difference for decannulation between total repair and palliation patients. Conclusion: HMV via tracheostomy is a useful option for the treatment of children who are dependent on long-term ventilation after congenital heart surgery although there are potential risks.
