Key result
Physiological management of right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery remains a significant challenge lacking comprehensive validation from any single clinical study.
Why the study?
What are the physiological management components for right ventricular failure following cardiac surgery?
What are the physiological management components for right ventricular failure following cardiac surgery?
This review provides an overview of physiological management strategies for right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery.
May inform physiological strategies for post-surgical RV failure; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
The management of right ventricular failure remains a significant challenge in cardiac surgery. To date, no single clinical study has encompassed all of the principles that can be called upon to manage this problem. This review deals with the physiological management components that may be of value to cardiac medical and surgical clinicians.
