Levosimendan pre-treatment improves outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (2009)

Tritapepe, L., De Santis, V., Vitale, D., Guarracino, F., Pellegrini, F., Pietropaoli, P., ...

Background The calcium sensitizer levosimendan has anti-ischaemic effects mediated via the opening of sarcolemmal and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels. These properties suggest...

Effects of short-term simultaneous infusion of dobutamine and terlipressin in patients with septic shock: the DOBUPRESS study (2008)

Morelli, A., Ertmer, C., Lange, M., Dünser, M., Rehberg, S., Van Aken, H., ...

Background Terlipressin bolus infusion may reduce cardiac output and global oxygen supply. The present study was designed to determine whether dobutamine may counterbalance the terlipressin-induced...

Preconditioning effects of levosimendan in coronary artery bypass grafting--a pilot study (2006)

Tritapepe, L., De Santis, V., Vitale, D., Santulli, M., Morelli, A., Nofroni, I., ...

Background. The calcium sensitizer levosimendan protects against myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion injury in animal models. Methods. The present pilot study investigated whether a short infusion...

A new and feasible model for predicting operative risk (2004)

Donati, A., Ruzzi, M., Adrario, E., Pelaia, P., Coluzzi, F., Gabbanelli, V., ...

Background. Although the POSSUM (Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and Morbidity) score can be used to calculate operative risk, its complexity makes its use...

Continuous and intermittent cardiac output measurement: pulmonary artery catheter versus aortic transpulmonary technique (2002)

Della Rocca, G., Costa, M. G., Pompei, L., Coccia, C., Pietropaoli, P.

Background. Cardiac output (CO) can be measured intermittently by bolus thermodilution methods in the pulmonary artery (COpa) or in the aorta (COart). A continuous thermodilution method (CCO) and a...
