Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Influence of Blood Haemoglobin Concentration on Renal Haemodynamics and Oxygenation During Experimental Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Sheep

In experimental CPB blood transfusion to increase Hb concentration from ~7 g dL−1 to ~9 g dL−1 did not improve renal cortical or medullary tissue PO2 even though it decreased whole kidney oxygen extraction.

Comparison of Ringer’s Lactate and Plasmalyte-A as Cardiopulmonary Bypass Prime for Bypass Associated Acidosis in Valve Replacement Surgeries

Patients who received Plasmalyte-A as cardiopulmonary bypass prime developed less metabolic acidosis. Hence we conclude that Plasmalyte-A is the preferred cardiopulmonary bypass prime in adult patients undergoing valve replacement surgerie
