Authors: Aluru Ananya  , Kanta Kumari PML  , B Vijayalakshmi  , R Chandrasekhar  , Naga Saritha Kolli
Published: January 2021

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is accounting to 20% of neonatal mortalityin India. Cord lactate can be an alternative that is more readily available than cord pH and may help in early identification of birth asphyxia in resource limited settings. The aim of the current study is to correlate cord lactate levels with cord pH in term neonates with non-reassuring fetal heart status and thereby its use as a surrogate for cord    pH. Subjects & Methods: Study design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Neonatology unit at NRI general hospital, Chinakakani from August 2018 to July 2019. Study participants: All singleton term neonates delivered by assisted vaginal delivery or emergency caesarean section due to non-reassuring fetal heart status. Umbilical cord blood gas and lactate was obtained. Lactate was analysed by colorimetric method. Results: A total of 74 neonates were included. An analysis of cord pH & lactate, using correlation coefficient showed statistically significant p-values. Cord lactate was found to be statistically significant predictor for admission to NICU, post resuscitation care, invasive/noninvasive ventilation, and therapeutic hypothermia on multiple logistic regression analysis. Cord Lactate was found to have an Area under the curve (AUC) of 0.88 with no significant difference to cord pH on ROC curve analysis. Conclusion: Cord Lactate can be used as an objective test in predicting the neonates requiring NICU admission for morbidities related to fetal hypoxia similar to that of cord pH in term neonates.

Authors: Acharya Ekta
Published: January 2021

Background : Sometimes, diarrhea may co-exist with vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, etc. depending upon its etiology. Diarrheal diseases can also lead to significant malnutrition and dehydration. Thus, at the tertiary care center, a study was conducted with an aim to center on the clinical and sociodemographic profile of infants and children presenting with acute diarrhea. Subjects and Methods: It was a prospective, observational clinical study that began after obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. It was conducted at the Department   of Pediatrics, Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Science, Bhuj, Kutch for a period of 2 years. The sample size was 200 with 2 groups A and    B having 100 patients each. Accordingly, their clinical and demographic profile was also noted and studied in 2 groups. Various parameters analyzed were age and gender distribution, chief complaints, feeding practices, nutritional status and assessment of dehydration. Results: Mean age S.D were (2.25 1.40) and (2.49 1.39) years in group A and B respectively. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for 6 months was given in a  large no. of group A and B patients i.e. 52 (52%) and 58(58%) respectively. Few others were given for 4, 5, or 7 months. Maximum patients 58 (58%) of A and 52 (50%) of B group had no dehydration whereas remaining 42 (42%) and 48 (48%) patients had some dehydration respectively. Conclusion: Fever and vomiting were the complaints mainly regularly linked with diarrhea. a bit fewer than half of the children under research had some-dehydration. Greater parts of the patients were completely breastfed for six months.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Pediatric intensive care units (PICU) are an indispensable component of a successful health care establishment. They play a crucial part in reducing morbidity and mortality in the adolescent group. Several models and scores have been tried for internal auditing and in detecting the case fatality rate of a patient admitted in PICU and NICU. This helps the clinician in triaging patient care as and when required. The PRISM III score is widely used in PICU and NICU for the same. To evaluate the validity of the PRISM III score in predicting mortality in children admitted to PICU and NICU in a tertiary care hospital and to predict the probability of death of various PRISM III scores. Subjects and Methods: 260 patients admitted to PICU and NICU were included in the study after obtaining informed consent from parents/guardians. Each patient was evaluated for the parameters in the PRISM III score and blood was drawn to send for investigations and results were entered in the proforma and were evaluated. Results: There was an increase in mortality rate with raise in PRISM III score. PRISM III offered a fair predictive power with the area under the curve 0.7 with 95% C.I. Out of 260 patients included in the study 24(9.2%) were dead. Variables like systolic BP, abnormal mental status, pupillary reflex, acidosis, and low platelet counts were significantly associated with a higher mortality rate. Conclusion: Evaluation of mortality and outcome of a patient admitted in PICU in a tertiary care hospital is best predicted by PRISM III score.

Outcome of Pregnancies with Fibroids and its Associated Complications: A Prospective Study
Authors: Swarna Sudha Pullemalla  , B. Bhargavi
Published: January 2021

Background: Fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign smooth muscle cell tumors of the uterus. Although they are extremely common, with an overall incidence of 40% to 60% by age 35 and 70% to 80% by age 50, the precise etiology of uterine fibroids remains unclear. Some studies have shown a relationship between uterine fibroids and pregnancy complications, such as preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), fetal malpresentation, placental abruption and intrauterine fetal demise. The aim is to study the outcome of pregnancies with fibroids and their associated complications. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology in a tertiary care hospital. For the study, a total of 40 patients were selected between the age range of 21 to 45 years from the outpatient list of the department of gynecology with pregnancy with fibroid after attending first-trimester ultrasonography examination which diagnosed them. The patients underwent both consequent antenatal care and delivery at the study institute in the study time. Ultrasonogram was done at successive visits to evaluate the change in the size of the fibroid and any associated complications either in fibroid or in pregnancy in general. Results: We observed that 15 patients had threatened miscarriage, 12 had preterm labor, 2 had antepartum bleeding, 3 had abdominal pain needing admission, 2 had laparotomy due to pain, 1 had a postpartum hemorrhage and only one patient needed a blood transfusion. Spontaneous abortion was observed in 2 patients, premature delivery in 15, delivery at 37-41 weeks in 37, vaginal delivery in 5 patients and cesarean section in 44 patients. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that pregnant women diagnosed with uterine fibroids are at a greater risk of complication during the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods.

Authors: Yadav Arvind Kumar , Thomas Watson , Chaudhari Sandeep Kumar , Paul Souvik
Published: January 2021

Background: This study aims to note the role of floor level activities like squatting and sitting cross-legged as the indicator of healing with good containment and congruency in Perthes’ disease in children below eight years of age. The research hypothesis of the study is that the functional outcome of the affected hip joint in the form of spontaneous, free and full painless floor level activity in day to day life of the child is a better indicator of outcome irrespective of the radiographic changes in the hip joint. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective observational study  was conducted in a tertiary care university hospital. The study included all the patients diagnosed with Perthes’ disease whose last radiological assessment showed signs of healing. Patients above eight years and patients who had not started showing radiological healing were excluded. Parameters assessed were the presence of lurch, pain at the hip joint, limb length discrepancy, range of motion at the hip joint and ability to sit cross-legged and squat and epiphyseal extrusion index on radiographs. Results: Nineteen hips in 18 patients met criteria with a mean age of 7.1 1.5 years at presentation with a minimum follow-up of 30 (30 – 72) months. None of the patients had any residual lurch or tenderness at  the hip joint at final follow up and all were able to sit cross-legged and squat symmetrically and comfortably with significant improvement of motion at the hip joint (p<0.05). No correlation was noted among the clinical and radiological features; except the internal rotation at healing with epiphyseal extrusion index at healing. Conclusion: Clinical function holds the key primarily in the course of treatment of Legg-Calve-Perthes’ disease. Conservative management in the form of bracing, floor level activities, and hip flexion and abduction exercises lead to congruency and containment in Legg-Calve-Perthes’ disease up to the age of eight years.
Computed Tomography Evaluation of Blunt Abdominal Injury
Authors: Sholy K Vareed  , Don Paul Mathew  , Justine Antony
Published: January 2021

Background: Unlike penetrating abdominal trauma, where management is largely determined clinically, the diagnosis of blunt abdominal injury by clinical examination is unreliable, particularly in patients with a decreased level of consciousness.Plain abdominal radiography has limited role in the assessment of blunt abdominal trauma, although some authorities continue to advocate its use. CT scan’s main advantage is the ability to detect arterial contrast extravasation, uncontained or as a pseudoaneurysm, which predicts the need for surgery or angioembolisation. The aim is to study computed tomography evaluation of blunt abdominal injury. Subjects and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Radiology of the medical institution. For the study, we used abdomen CT scan reports of 100 patients with BAT, who were stable enough to undergo radiological investigation. The patients included 66 males and 34 females. All CT scans were obtained with a 16 slice MDCT Scanner (Siemens). All patients received intravenous bolus of iodinated contrast agents. Individual organ injuries were graded according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST - OIS) injury scoring scale. The overall imaging findings were analysed for their role in guiding the therapeutic options, whether conservative or surgical. Results: Total number of patients included in the study was 100. The mean age of patients was 41.97 years. Number of male patients was 66 and number of female patients was 34. For the mode of injury, other miscellaneous causes were most common in out study group followed by road traffic accidents. It was observed that OIS grade II patients were 19, OIS grade III patients were 29, OIS grade IV patients were 12 and OIS grade V patients were 10. The highest proportion of conservatively managed patients were seen in OIS grade II patients. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that CT scan for blunt abdominal injury is a reliable and accurate method for diagnosis. It has all the qualities to make it a gold standard for initial investigation of choice for blunt abdominal injury patients.

Розглянути питання підвищення паливної економічності суднових дизельних установок шляхом використання присадок до палива. Наведені результати експериментальних досліджень, що виконувались на судновому середньообертовому дизелі 6N21L фірми Yanmar, до витратної паливної цистерни якого додавалась паливна присадка з різною концентрацією. Встановлено, що за рахунок використання паливних присадок на різних режимах роботи суднового вказаного дизеля можливо досягти зниження питомої витрати палива від 2,6 до 4,8 %. При цьому максимальне підвищення паливної економічності відбувається в діапазоні 50-60 % навантаження дизеля, тобто режимів, що характеризуються найбільшим експлуатаційним періодом роботи, а також підвищеною тепловою напруженістю. Також виявлено, що використання присадок до палива сприяє зниженню на 3,3-7,2 % температури випускних газів та на 46,2-58,3 % знижує неузгодженість значення температури випускних газів по окремих циліндрах дизеля.
Theoretical and experimental investigations of wave field around vessel in shallow water
Authors: Efremova N. , Nilva A. , Kotovskaya N. , Driga M.
Published: January 2021

Un-running vessel at the shallow-water road anchorage is under exposure to waves that come at arbitrary angle from the high sea. 3D waves from deep-sea area become practically 2D when entering shallow water. While mean periods are kept, waves become shorter and their crests become higher and sharpener than for deep-water ones. As a result of diffraction of waves that come from the deep-water sea at the vessel, a transformation zone appears where waves become 3D again. Dimensions of the waves’ transformation zone, character and height of waves in this zone specify safety of auxiliary crafts, e.g. tugboats, bunker vessels, pilot and road crafts, oil garbage collectors and boom crafts. In the complex 3D waves the trajectory of auxiliary vessel’s movement has to be safe, vessel’s motions have to be moderate. Besides waves’ height is one of the parameters that are used for forecast of movement of spilled oil. Last years the biggest part examination of waves’ problems was devoted to estimation of waves’ impact onto stationary or floating shelf facilities. For validity estimation, waves’ characteristics defined due to different theories, are compared with experimental ones. But characteristics of the waves around shelf facilities are hardly able to be compared to same ones of waves around bodies with vessel-type shape.  At the experiments with vessels’ models, waves’ impact onto vessel was examined, but not the transformation of the waves themselves. So, comparing of waves area’s characteristics defined by both theoretical experimental ways is an actual problem.  Aim of the paper is verification of results of wave area investigation; wave area is located around a vessel that is exposed of arbitrary angle waves at shallow water conditions. Description of experimental investigations of transformed waves in the towing tank is done; transformation zone appears around vessel’s model while running waves diffract on it. Distribution of waves’ amplitudes at the designated points was fixed by the special designed and manufactured unit. Experimental data is compared with computation results both of linear and non-linear theories. It was assumed that experimental results and theoretical data satisfactory meet each other; also that non-linear computations define the maximal values of waves’ amplitudes at all cases.

Mitigating Impacts of Natural Hazards on Fishery Ecosystems
Authors: Degner Bob
Published: January 2021

Abstract.—Red tides are naturally occurring events in Florida. However, these algae blooms can create conditions that may result in negative effects on coastal communities and businesses. This paper describes University of Florida (UF) research efforts that were conducted to better understand the eventual economic implications of red tide events. The UF red tide research agenda is described, which attempts to qualitatively link public awareness of red tide events with changes in water-related activities (including beach and park attendance), patronage of water-proximate businesses, and, finally, business sales. The business sales analyses focus primarily on the restaurant and lodging sectors in the coastal communities impacted by red tides in both the panhandle and southwest regions of Florida. Case studies were also conducted for a small group of beachfront restaurants in southwest Florida, as well as the Lee County lodging sector. The findings of these studies highlight the vulnerability of coastal communities to red tide events and emphasize the need for a better appreciation of the implications of red tide events from both biological and socioeconomic perspectives.

L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer la place du jeûne dans les recommandations pré analytiques du dosage des paramètres lipidiques. Matériels et Méthodes. Notre étude prospective a été réalisée sur 27 prélèvements sanguins sur tube hépariné, des patients en deux temps : à jeun et non à jeun après la prise d’un repas consistant. Le dosage des deux paramètres : Triglycérides et le Cholestérol total, ont été réalisé par la méthode colorimétrique enzymatique. Résultats. Nos résultats ont été classés en deux groupes pour chaque paramètre. L’étude statistique a été réalisée sur le logiciel Graph Pad Prism7. La comparaison des deux groupes TG par l’application du test non paramétrique de Wilcoxon retrouve p<0,0001, ce qui signifie la présence d’une différence significative entre les deux groupes. La comparaison des deux groupes Chol par l’application du test paramétrique test T retrouve p<0,0001, ce qui signifie la présence d’une différence significative entre les deux groupes. Conclusion. À travers cette étude, bien qu’elle soit réalisée sur un faible échantillonnage, nous permet de souligner l’importance du jeûne dans l’analyse des paramètres du bilan lipidique, ce qui concorde avec plusieurs travaux de la littérature qui ont permis d’instaurer le jeûne dans les recommandations lors de l’exploration du métabolisme lipidique.

Disco imperiów. Czesław Miłosz i przyszłość kultury
Authors: Golubiewski Mikołaj
Published: January 2021

Artykuł skupia się na krytyce, której Czesław Miłosz poddaje rozrywkę imperialnych społeczeństw lat 70. XX wieku. Celem refleksji jest opis tego, jak doświadczenie imperiów jawi się w antropologicznym science fiction noblisty pt. Góry Parnasu, które ukazało się pośmiertnie w roku 2012 (pisane 1968–1972). Tekst nigdy niepublikowanej powieści zdawać by się mógł krytyką kapitalizmu amerykańskiego i rozruchów studenckich z okresu kontrkultury, lecz wiele fragmentów wskazuje także na sowiecką Rosję. Jego doświadczenie styku imperium i rozrywki zarówno w Polsce, jak i za granicą uwrażliwiło go na przecięcie się społecznej standaryzacji, nieludzkości nauki i religijnego zbawienia. Artykuł eksploruje to złożone równanie zawarte nie tylko w powieści, lecz także w innych pismach polskiego poety z lat 70. XX wieku, w których podobnie ujawniają się problemy kondycji ludzkiej. Choć Miłosz nie zdołał wypełnić popularnoliterackich zobowiązań gatunku, to jednak jego krytyka przyziemnej zabawy jest o wiele silniejsza w Górach Parnasu, niż w którymkolwiek z innych jego dzieł. W tej powieści Miłosz uznaje kulturę popularną za przegrany projekt, a antidotum proponowane ze strony państwa – za społeczną standaryzację. Rzucając swoją refleksję nad społeczeństwem w przyszłość, Miłosz wykorzystuje gatunek fantastyki naukowej, żeby przekazać wyobrażenie o rozwoju kultury. Tak użyte science fiction nie urzeczywistnia swojego potencjału znanego z kultury popularnej, jednak wciąż stanowi niezwykły prognostyk o przyszłości kultury, który wywodzi się z romantycznych źródeł wieszczenia o stanie społeczeństwa i wyobrażania sobie jego właściwej przyszłej tożsamości.
Nadchodzi rewolucja! Krytyka popnaukowych prób przewidywania przyszłości
Authors: Wesołowski Adrian
Published: January 2021

Artykuł omawia zjawisko popnauki oraz podejmuje próbę nakreślenia przyczyn jej powstania i sukcesu, jaki osiągnęła zarówno w kulturze popularnej, jak i w środowisku akademickim. Centralne pojęcie, angielski skrót od „popularyzacji nauki”, rozumiane jest tutaj jako prąd piśmiennictwa akademickiego przedstawiający śmiałe tezy z niezachwianym przekonaniem o ich wartości naukowej pomimo rażących braków metodologicznych. Zagadnienie rewolucji, przez pryzmat którego przejawia się stosunek popnaukowców do tradycji socjologicznej, stanowi oś wywodu. Autor analizuje model argumentacji przykładowych prac Stevena Pinkera i Yuvala Noaha Harariego oraz – na podstawie własnych wniosków i powracających krytyk – gromadzi jego składowe i odtwarza nieścisłości zastosowanego w nich rozumowania. W powiązaniu z kontekstem powstania omawianych książek elementy te pozwalają mu wskazać na źródła oraz potencjalne niebezpieczeństwa szerokiej legitymizacji popnauki.

Published: January 2021

As decisões relativas à política de remuneração do capital próprio, como a proporção dos lucros que é distribuída, a forma de distribuição, e seus impactos no valor das empresas, é tema recorrente na literatura de finanças corporativas, com o surgimento de diferentes teorias. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os impactos decorrentes da escolha entre dividendos e JCP nas empresas de maior representatividade do setor elétrico, no período de 2011 a 2016, tendo como pano de fundo a otimização tributária, sob a ótica da empresa. Apesar de apresentarem similaridades conceituais perante a legislação, ambas as formas de distribuição de resultados possuem diferenças quanto ao regime de tributação em que estão inseridas. Durante o período amostral, verificou-se que quaisquer uma das vezes que se utilizou a distribuição de lucros pela composição entre dividendos e JCP, foi possibilitado um ganho fiscal para a empresa, gerando um impacto na carga tributária. Mesmo com as limitações legais e/ou operacionais impostas para o uso do JCP, tal ganho, segundo a simulação, em média foi superior a R$ 68 milhões, apontando o benefício de se considerar uma combinação de distribuição de resultados.

A estrutura de capital de uma firma deve ser considerada quando se faz a análise de sua probabilidade de falência e risco de insolvência. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar a aplicabilidade da teoria do trade-off estático a partir da relação entre índices de endividamento e os determinantes da estrutura de capital das firmas. O problema retratado avalia a relação entre a estrutura de capital das firmas e a classificação de risco de crédito no mercado acionário brasileiro. Diferentemente, e como contribuição, o estudo considera a probabilidade de inadimplência das empresas a partir de proxies sobre os ratings de crédito dessas firmas. Metodologicamente, foram analisadas empresas de capital aberto listadas na B3 e os modelos foram operacionalizados por meio de um painel com estimação por Mínimos Quadrados Generalizados Factíveis (FGLS), no período de 2010 a 2017. As variáveis dependentes utilizadas foram os níveis de endividamento de curto prazo, de longo prazo e total. Os resultados indicaram relações significativas entre tamanho, rentabilidade e tangibilidade dos ativos em algum dos níveis de endividamento. A classificação de rating só foi significativa para explicar o endividamento total das firmas da amostra. Já a variável dummy (ser ou não classificada pelas agências de crédito) foi estatisticamente significativa para os três modelos. Assim, este estudo gera implicações que contribuem para: a teoria sobre estrutura de capital e sobre a influência dos ratings para esse tipo análise; e de forma prática para as empresas e gestores, a fim de utilizarem o rating como uma possível medida para a entendimento da estrutura de capital das firmas e de seus riscos de insolvência.

Este trabalho objetivou analisar o comportamento assimétrico dos custos e despesas em relação à receita, após adoção das International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, usando as informações de receita, custos e despesas de todas as empresas listadas na B3. O resultado apresenta similaridade com os já existentes na literatura, indicando assimetria no comportamento dos custos. A título de robustez, analisou-se a amostra com e sem as empresas financeiras e somente com as empresas financeiras. Considerando todas as empresas, após a adoção das IFRS, observou-se que o comportamento dos custos foi mais aderente. Ainda no período de adoção das IFRS, observou-se que o comportamento dos custos foi menos pegajoso, mesmo quando se separam as empresas em financeiras e não financeiras. Analisando somente as empresas financeiras com 376 observações, e comparando com as não financeiras, observou-se que os custos das empresas do setor financeiro não variam na mesma intensidade das receitas, apresentando, assim, um comportamento mais pegajoso, diferente dos apresentados nas literaturas já existentes.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar as contribuições da operacionalização do Problem-Based Learning (PBL) em uma disciplina de Ciências Contábeis em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Brasileira e os respectivos resultados dos alunos. Para tanto, a experiência foi realizada na disciplina de Controladoria Empresarial do curso de graduação em Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). A coleta dos dados foi aplicada em duas turmas da disciplina de Controladoria Empresarial, uma matutina e a outra noturna, totalizando 59 participantes, por meio de questionário aplicado aos discentes para obter o feedback da aplicação realizada, da observação participante pelos tutores, e da análise documental dos critérios de avaliação, tanto dos relatórios, quanto dos documentos elaborados para a autoavaliação e avaliação pelos pares que também fizeram parte da composição da avaliação final. Sendo adotado uma abordagem qualitativa para analise dos dados, utilizando a estratégia metodológica denominada action research. Os resultados evidenciam que a operacionalização do PBL apresentou impacto positivo no desempenho dos alunos, e consequentemente, apresentou eficácia, uma vez que atingiu um dos objetivos do PBL, que é contribuir para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Entretanto, constata-se, tanto na observação participante quanto pelo relato dos alunos, a sugestão pela aplicação do PBL em conjunto com aulas expositivas, bem como um feedback antes da avaliação final, e ainda, que o PBL seja aplicado em outras disciplinas do curso.

Justificación: la mayor cantidad de cirugías cardiacas realizadas a nivel mundial se efectúa con circulación extracorpórea y pinzamiento de la aorta, lo que conlleva una serie de alteraciones fisiopatológicas que deben ser reconocidas por el personal de salud que participa en la atención de estos pacientes.Objetivo: describir el perfil y los factores de riesgo presentes en los pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca con circulación extracorpórea, y analizar la existencia de una potencial relación entre el tiempo de circulación extracorpórea y el pinzamiento aórtico, con la aplicación de desfibrilaciones tras al pinzado de la aorta, la necesidad de soporte cardiovascular farmacológico, el comportamiento del nivel de lactato plasmático y la mortalidad.Métodos: se desarrolló un estudio observacional y descriptivo con una muestra de 104 pacientes electivos, sometidos a intervención quirúrgica y circulación extracorpórea, en el Hospital México, desde octubre de 2016 a noviembre de 2017. Se caracterizó la población en estudio, se analizaron los factores de riesgo incluido el EuroSCORE I y II, el tiempo de circulación extracorpórea, el tiempo de pinzamiento aórtico, las desfibrilaciones posteriores al pinzamiento aórtico, e lactato inmediatamente postcirculación extracorpórea, y a las 2, 6, 24 h postquirúrgicas, el uso de soporte cardiovascular farmacológico en infusión continua posterior a la circulación extracorpórea y mortalidad a los 30 días.Resultados: la edad media fue 56,4 años, predominó el sexo masculino (69 %) y la hipertensión arterial fue el factor de riesgo más frecuente (76,07 %). Se registró un tiempo de pinzado aórtico menor a 100 min en 61 pacientes (58,65 %) y superior a ese tiempo en 43 pacientes (41,35 %). El EuroSCORE I promedio fue del 4,21 % (DE: 4,80), mientras que el EuroSCORE II fue del 2,37 % (DE: 2,41). El tiempo promedio de circulación extracorpórea fue de 129 minutos (DE: 36,88) y el de pinzado aórtico, de 94 minutos (DE:32,04). Hubo un pico de lactato a las 6 horas postquirúrgicas (5,13 mmol/L, DE:2,89); un 8,65 % de los pacientes fueron desfibrilados después del retiro de la pinza en la aorta; se utilizó soporte cardiovascular en el 16,35 % y la mortalidad quirúrgica fue del 1,92 %.Conclusiones: en el estudio, el tiempo de circulación extracorpórea y el pinzado aórtico junto con l uso de inotrópicos, vasoconstrictores, hiperlactatemia y mortalidad quirúrgica, no alcanzó una relación significativa.
