La secreción de melatonina después de la cirugía
Lancet (London, England)
|November 10, 2000
Resumen
Los trastornos del sueño postoperatorios pueden estar relacionados con niveles más bajos de melatonina. La terapia de reemplazo de melatonina podría potencialmente prevenir este problema común en pacientes quirúrgicos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Endocrinología Endocrinología.
- Medicina del sueño Medicina del sueño.
- Recuperación quirúrgica Recuperación quirúrgica.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los trastornos del sueño se informan con frecuencia después de procedimientos quirúrgicos.
- El papel de la melatonina endógena en la calidad del sueño postoperatorio requiere más investigación.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la relación entre las concentraciones nocturnas de melatonina y las perturbaciones del sueño en pacientes postoperatorios.
- Para explorar el impacto potencial de la supresión de la melatonina en la calidad del sueño después de la cirugía.
Principales métodos:
- Medición de las concentraciones nocturnas de melatonina en siete pacientes postoperatorios.
- Comparación de los niveles de melatonina en la primera, segunda y tercera noche después de la cirugía.
Principales resultados:
- Se observó una disminución estadísticamente significativa (p = 0,005) en las concentraciones nocturnas de melatonina en la primera noche postoperatoria en comparación con las noches posteriores.
- Los niveles más bajos de melatonina se correlacionan con la incidencia de trastornos del sueño.
Conclusiones:
- La supresión postoperatoria de la melatonina puede contribuir a los trastornos del sueño.
- La terapia de reemplazo de melatonina es una estrategia potencial para mitigar la interrupción del sueño y mejorar la recuperación después de la cirugía.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure
Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...
Kidney Transplant III: Nursing Management
Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...
