Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Response to Large Doses of Intravenous Morphine in Man
Edward Lowenstein,Phillips Hallowell,Frederick H. Levine,Willard M. Daggett,William G. Austen,Myron B. Laver +5 more
TL;DR: In the cardiac but not in the normal subjects, significant increases in cardiac index, stroke index, central venous pressure, and pulmonary-artery pressure were observed after morphine was administered, suggesting that large doses of morphine may be used with safety in patients with minimal circulatory reserve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular septal rupture: a review of clinical and physiologic features and an analysis of survival.
Martha J. Radford,Robert Johnson,Willard M. Daggett,John T. Fallon,Mortimer J. Buckley,Herman K. Gold,Robert C. Leinbach +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that shock was produced mainly by right ventricular impairment in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture, and that perioperative survival was much higher in patients who did not have shock preoperatively than in those who did.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Operations in Patients 80 Years Old and Older
Cary W. Akins,Willard M. Daggett,Gus J. Vlahakes,Alan D. Hilgenberg,David F. Torchiana,Joren C. Madsen,Mortimer J. Buckley +6 more
TL;DR: Cardiac operations are successful in most octogenarians with increased hospital mortality, postoperative stroke, and longer hospital stay, but long-term survival is largely determined by concurrent medical diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgery for Post-Myocardial Infarct Ventricular Septal Defect
Willard M. Daggett,R. A. Guyton,Eldred D. Mundth,Mortimer J. Buckley,McEnany Mt,Herman K. Gold,Robert C. Leinbach,William G. Austen +7 more
TL;DR: Clinical deterioration, once begun, progressed rapidly, and could be reversed only temporarily by intra-aortic balloon pumping, used in 26 patients for safe conduct of cardiac catheterization and for peri-operative hemodynamic support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute traumatic disruption of the thoracic aorta: a ten-year experience.
TL;DR: Immediate operative intervention with a heparinized shunt is preferable as soon as the diagnosis of thoracic aortic disruption has been established, but elective delay of operation in patients with severe concomitant injuries can be achieved safely with beta blockade and antihypertensive therapy.
