Association Between Low pH and Unfavorable Neurological Outcome among Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients Treated by Extracorporeal CPR: a Prospective Observational Cohort Study in Japan

Use of a Dynamic Bubble Trap in the Arterial Line Reduces Microbubbles During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Microembolic Signals in the Middle Cerebral Artery

This study demonstrates that the insertion of a dynamic bubble trap (DBT) into the curcuit reduces microbubbles in the arterial line and microembolic signals (MES) in the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs).

The Effect of Zero-Balanced Ultrafiltration During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on S100b Release and Cognitive Function

Zero-balanced ultrafiltration (ZBUF) might reduce the systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by removing inflammatory mediators.
