Item CASE 2-2007 - Systemic air embolization after termination of cardiopulmonary bypass(JOURNAL OF CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR ANESTHESIA, 2007)Item CASE 4 - 2006 - Coexistent hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, mitral stenosis, and coronary artery fistula(JOURNAL OF CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR ANESTHESIA, 2006)Item CASE 5-2012 Incidentally Detected Patent Foramen Ovale in A Patient Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement: To Close or Not to Close?(JOURNAL OF CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR ANESTHESIA, 2012)Item Perioperative issues due to long-standing lung collapse during repair of a large ascending aortic aneurysm.(Annals of cardiac anaesthesia, 2008)Acute lung collapse during open-heart surgery may potentially lead to problems such as inadequate gas exchange, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, increased afterload to the right ventricle, and difficulty in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Therefore, expansion of the lungs is ensured prior to separation from CPB. We report the inability to manually expand a chronically collapsed lung during the repair of ascending aortic aneurysm. The collapsed lung did not pose difficulty in separation from CPB and in blood gas management during the perioperative period. We discuss perioperative management issues in such situations.
