Why is hypothermia used in an open heart surgery?

History
1 answer:
Eva8 [605]3 years ago
4 0

Hypothermia is used widely during open heart surgery due to its cytoprotective effects.  In addition to this, other mechanisms of therapeutic hypothermia include suppression of free radicals, inhibition of destructive enzymatic reactions, reduction in metabolic requirements in low-flow regions, and inhibition of the biosynthesis, release, and uptake of excitatory neurotransmitters. Through these mechanisms, hypothermia provides a favorable balance between oxygen supply and demand, slows the onset of ischemic depolarization, decreases the release of ischemic-induced intracellular calcium influx, and suppresses nitric oxide synthase activity.

Hypothermia is widely used in open cardiac surgery not only to protect against perioperative brain ischemia that could potentially develop, but also the myocardium.

Why were president Wilson's 14 points not incorporated in the treaty of versalles
Ann [662]
The British and the French leadership didn't want the 14 points because they believed that the fourteen points did not punish Germany as severely as it deserved for its participation in the war and the war crimes that they committed. Wilson's ideas were more idealistic while the other allies believed that Germans should be hit so hard that they could never recover. This is one of the reasons why Germany had a huge crisis in the upcoming period and why they started supporting the rise of Nazism as an answer to this.
