www.Heart-Valv... - A common concern for patients needing heart valve surgery is whether or not the heart-lung machine, also known as cardiopulmonary bypass, can cause neurocognitive issues after the operation including anxiety, confusion and memory loss.
For example... Tom, a heat valve patient, recently asked, "What is the truth about ‘Pump Head’? I have read conflicting reports if the heart-lung machine is potentially responsible for post-operative, cognitive issues including confusion, anxiety and forgetfulness.”
To answer Tom's question, we interviewed with Dr. Junaid Khan, the Medical Director of Cardiac Surgery at Sutter Health Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland, California. During his fantastic career, Dr. Khan has performed over 4,000 cardiac procedures and more than 2,000 heart valve repair and heart valve replacement operations.
Key questions answered by Dr. Khan in this video include:
1. What is Pumphead?
2. What is a heart-lung machine? How do cardiopulmonary bypass machines works? Why are they needed during heart surgery?
3. What are potential neuro-cognitive changes experienced by patients following heart surgery? Stroke? Confusion? Anxiety? Forgetfulness?
4. What clinical research and clinical studies support, validate or negate how the heart-lung machine may or may not cause 'Pumphead' after heart surgery?
5. What is Dr. Khan's recommendations for patients who experience neurocognitive symptoms after heart surgery?

57yr M Had my second open heart surgery day after Thanksgiving 2022. A Blood infection ate my aortic and mitral valves so I had first surgery to replace them. A few months later felt bad again and found out I had dehiscence of the mitral valve and I had to have second surgery to replace both again. 'Pumphead' explains soo many things now as to why my emotions have been all over the place, even now. Memory, depression, anger, memory loss which I had already typed..other oddities which could also be related..me being regular first time in my life and the testosterone I now seem to have extra of..its been a strange trip indeed..thank you for giving it a name..IMA Pumphead

My wife had a heart valve replacement 10 years ago. She has had dementia now for at least 6 years...I would say their is truth to this subject. And they don't tell you pumphead is possible! Keeping your blood thinned with WARFARIN is an art. Keeping your blood thinned in INR range requires constant blood tests or else...mini strokes and dementia it appears to me from our experience!

For eight days after valve replacement and repair I was in an eight day fever dream. The hospital said it was anesthesia delirium but 2 years later I heard about pump head. Fortunately it was only 8 days for me

Regardless of the cause, it is a very real phenomenon. I have had four open-heart surgeries during my lifetime to replace several valves. After the last surgery five years ago, I had severe cognitive issues, including memory loss, confusion, anxiety, and depression. While the anxiety and depression have disappeared, I still suffer from short term memory loss and events of confusion on occasion.

I had a quadruple bypass six months ago, I do not feel the same...my memory and cognition is significantly less 😞

@rickowens3163 Год назад

same - I had a quad in August - felt pretty good but feel a slow slide since then... typing skills are WAY diminished, handwriting is terrible and struggle with things I've never struggled with before... hopefully time will heal this

Same here... once is too much

@@rickowens3163 Something to consider, surgery is a huge stress on the body, when the body is stressed it can create huge amounts of cortisol and also slow down the thyroid. Over time hopefully it will get better, but if not, you may have these things checked. This is just my theory based on a few things I have studied.

Many have PTSD after OHS from the trauma. Some think the heart lung machine is not working effectively micro particle and crushed corpuscles get in the body and it impacts people. They don't want anyone to know about it to keep people thinking it is safe.

@jeromemaxwell143 Год назад

I think I had pump head before the surgery. lol! I feel so much better now. I think the pump head will improve over time👍

I had a Ross procedure 9 days ago. I have had horrible pump head since my surgery. I keep waiting and hoping for it to improve. 🥹

19 yrs ago I had my OHS, and I’ve never been the same. The Dr was so dismissive. Sad, this is where the problem lies.🫤

@christvictoriouskingdomnow2473 10 месяцев назад

Can you explain what it did? Had mine 4 months ago, my main issue is lack of motivation, depression. Fear of getting sick again as I have some ongoing issues and we are more prone to infection.

@johnb4183 9 месяцев назад

More prone to infection ?, have not heard that one yet. Hope your doing well now.

@christvictoriouskingdomnow2473 9 месяцев назад

@@johnb4183 Our risk of endocarditis (if you got a new heart valve, not if you just had open heart) is much higher than the general population, thus why if you go to the dentist they want u to take antibiotics. I believe the life time risk is 3-6% which is actually kind of high when you think about it.
