Abstract

This study reviewed useful aspects of the intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography among the patients in whom heart surgery were undertaken between January 1996 and July 1996 at St.Pauls hospital, Medical College of Catholic University, Seoul, Korea. During that period, 61 patients were operated on because of valvular heart disease(25 patients), coronary artery disease(22 patients), congenital heart disease(13 patients), and combined coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease(1 patient). Two patients(1 redo-VSD and 1 valvular heart diease) needed repeated aortic cross clamping and complementary procedures because of incomplete initial procedures. There was no incidence of air embolism. We could observe significant relationship of cardiac output monitoring methods either by thermodilution technique and transesophageal echocardiography by linear regression analysis(p<0.001). We tested myocardial response(percentage of systolic wall thickness, PSWT) with low dose dobutamine challenge to predict post-CABG myocardial perfusion. And the test showed statistically significant resp.onse(sensitivity 76%, specificity 94.7%, positive predictive value 95%, negative predictive value 75%). These results suggest that cardiac surgeon could draw more benefits by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.

가톨릭대학교 의과대학 부속 성바오로 병원에서 1996년 1월부터 7월까지 개심술시 경식도심초음파를 이용하여 수술 중 관찰한 61명의 증례를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 61명의 환자 중 질병 분류는 심장 판막 질환 25명, 관상동맥 질환 22명, 선천성 심질환 13명, 심장 판막 질환과 관상동맥 질환이 병발한 경우가 1명 이었다. 1. 경식도심초음파를 이용하여 선천성 심질환 1예(심실중격결손증 재수술)와 대동맥 판막 치환술을 시행한 환자 1예에서 일차 심정지에 의한 수술 후 잔존 단락과 판막 주위 누출이 확인되어 재심정지를 유도하여 수술을 완료하였다 2. 공기색전증의 발생을 전 예에서 방지할 수 있었다. 3. 경식도심초음파로 측정한 심박출량과 온도희석법으로 측정한 심박출량은 통계학적으로 의미있는 상관관계를 보여 경식도 초음파를 이용한 심박출량 감시가 의미 있음을 시사하였다(Linear regression analysis, p<0.001). 4. 관상동맥우회로술을 시행한 23명의 환자에서 수술 중 경식도 초음파도상 이상 벽운동을 보이는 분절의 도부타민 투여 전후와 관상동맥우회로술 후의 반응을 비교 관찰하였다. 저 용량 도부타민 검사는 통계적으 \ulcorner유의하였다(민감도 76%, 특이도 94.7%, 양성 예측율 95%, 음성 예측율 75%).
