[Multiple organ failure following open heart surgery in adults].
The cases multiple organ failure (MOF) which occurred post-operatively following open heart surgery in adults were studied on a pre and post-operative hemodynamics. Post-operative low cardiac output syndrome (LOS) was thought to result in decreased renal and hepatic perfusion with subsequent ischemic damage to these organs. Therefore, to management MOF, we have to prevent post-operative LOS, for example, administration of cathecholamine and vasodilator, and early clinical application of IABP and ventricular assist device (VAD). In a post-operative hemodynamics, the cases of severe right ventricular failure tend to have more protracted MOF. It was though that MOF could be minimized with shortened cardiopulmonary bypass duration, and early application of assisted circulation.
