Perfusion of the Future: Modulor CPB (EP Video)

Processing of Stored Packed Red Blood Cells Using Autotransfusion Devices Decreases Potassium and Microaggregates: A Prospective, Randomized, Single-Blinded in Vitro Study

The aim of the study was to compare the potential of autotransfusion devices to reduce non-infectious complications related to transfusion of long-stored packed red blood cells (PRBC; n= 57), such as changes in electrolytes, blood cells and the load of free microaggregates.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Cardiopulmonary Failure in Pediatric Patients: Is a Second Course Justified?

We hypothesized that data from a national ECMO registry would be useful in identifying which pediatric patients would be optimal candidates for a second course of ECMO.

Change in Heparin Potency and Effects on the Activated Clotting Time in Children Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass

In this investigation we provide objective evidence that the level of anticoagulation after the initial pre-CPB heparin bolus as assessed by the ACT is significantly less with use of the new heparin.
