Summary: | Surgical complexity as well as comorbidities in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is increasing. Early detection and management of post-surgical complications are key points to reduce morbidity and mortality. Ultrasound technique plays a main rol in cardiopulmonary, hemodynamic and etiological assessment of the critically ill, providing immediate, reliable and, sometimes, conclusive information, clarifying many clinical situations with an inappropiate therapeutic response. For all these reasons ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool. In this chapter we will focus, mainly, on functional and hemodynamic assessment and on the detection of most common cardiological complications in the postoperative period after cardiac surgery.
La complejidad de los procedimientos quirúrgicos, así como la comorbilidad de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca va en aumento. La detección y tratamiento precoz de las complicaciones postquirúrgicas son parte del éxito en la reducción de la morbimortalidad. La introducción de la técnica ecográfica ha sido fundamental en la valoración cardiopulmonar, hemodinámica y etiológica del paciente crítico, aportando información inmediata, fiable y a veces concluyente, permitiendo aclarar muchas situaciones clínicas sin respuesta terapéutica aceptable. Tratándose de una herramienta diagnóstica esencial. En este capítulo nos centraremos, fundamentalmente, en la valoración funcional, hemodinámica y en la detección de las complicaciones cardiológicas más frecuentes en el postoperatorio de cirugía cardiaca. |
