Plegiocard Solution 20ml

Product Description

Product Name: Plegiocard Solution 20ml

Product Form: Solution

Pack Size: 20ml

Manufactured By: Samarth Life Sciences

Used For:

Cardioplegia is commonly used in:

1. Cardiac surgeries:
   • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
   • Valve replacements or repairs.
   • Congenital heart defect repairs.
   • Heart transplantation.
2. Myocardial protection: To reduce metabolic demand and prevent ischemic injury during surgery.
3. Facilitating surgery: By creating a motionless and bloodless surgical field.

Side Effects:

Side effects of cardioplegia depend on the specific solution and technique used but can include:

1. Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., hyperkalemia from potassium-based solutions).
2. Myocardial injury if prolonged ischemia occurs.
3. Arrhythmias after restarting the heart.
4. Fluid overload or edema due to the infusion of large volumes of solution.
5. Rare complications:
   • Ischemia-reperfusion injury.
   • Cardiac dysfunction post-surgery.

Precautions:

1. Patient Assessment:
   • Evaluate pre-existing conditions (e.g., electrolyte disturbances, renal dysfunction).
   • Assess the patient's cardiac function and overall health status.
2. Solution Preparation:
   • Use appropriate cardioplegic solution concentrations.
   • Monitor for contaminants or improper mixing.
3. Temperature Control:
   • Maintain hypothermia or normothermia as required.
4. Monitoring:
   • Monitor electrolytes and blood gases during surgery.
   • Ensure proper rewarming and gradual restoration of heart function.
5. Reperfusion Protocol:
   • Use careful techniques for re-establishing blood flow to minimize damage.
