Resumen
La derivación de Glenn, una anastomosis cavopulmonar, ofreció una excelente paliativa para bebés y niños con afecciones cardíacas complejas. Si bien fue eficaz, surgieron complicaciones tardías como fístulas arteriovenosas pulmonares, lo que condujo a modificaciones y su papel actual como alternativa a la operación de Fontan.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cirugía cardiovascular La cirugía cardiovascular es una cirugía cardiovascular.
- Cardiología Pediátrica Cardiología pediátrica.
- Enfermedad cardíaca congénita.
Sus antecedentes:
- La anastomosis cavopulmonar, o derivación de Glenn, surgió como un desarrollo significativo en la palificación quirúrgica para la enfermedad cardíaca congénita compleja.
- Fue iniciado por Glenn, que implicó el bypass parcial del corazón derecho, logrando una excelente palificación con baja mortalidad en pacientes pediátricos seleccionados de 1961-1988.

01:05Breathing
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...
01:20Gas Exchange and Transport
Gas exchange, the intake of molecular oxygen (O2) from the environment and the outflow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment, is necessary for cellular function. Gas exchange during respiration occurs largely via the movement of gas molecules along pressure gradients. Gas travels from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure. In mammals, gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, which are adjacent to capillaries and share a membrane with them.
01:17Gross Anatomy of the Lungs
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...
01:24Pulmonary Ventilation: Inhalation
Pulmonary ventilation is a vital process that ensures the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. It refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs, enabling the body to obtain oxygen and remove waste carbon dioxide. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of pulmonary ventilation, including its underlying principles, mechanisms, and the interplay of pressures within the respiratory system.

01:16Physical Principles Governing Gas Exchange
Gas behavior plays a vital role in understanding bodily processes such as external and internal respiration. External respiration involves the diffusion of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of it in the lungs. In contrast, internal respiration happens in body tissues, where these gases move in opposite directions.
Gas Laws Governing Respiration
The behavior of gases is guided by Dalton's Law of partial pressures and Henry's Law.

01:10Atelectasis II: Pathophysiology
Atelectasis develops when alveoli lose their air and collapse inward. Because lung tissue is naturally elastic, these air sacs shrink rather than remaining open. Collapsed alveoli are no longer ventilated, reducing their role in gas exchange. Blood flow may continue in these regions, creating a ventilation–perfusion mismatch. Clinical findings include decreased breath sounds, dullness to percussion, reduced chest expansion, and decreased tactile fremitus as sound transmission through collapsed...
