Modular Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation Ensures Perfusion Safety and Technical Feasibility in Cardiac Surgery; A Systematic Review of the Literature

Use of modular MiECC secures safety and ensures technical feasibility in all cardiac surgical procedures. It represents a type III active closed system, while its stand-by component is reserved for a small (<5%) proportion of procedures and for a partial procedural time. Thus, it eliminates any safety concern regarding air handling and volume management, while it overcomes any unexpected intraoperative scenario.

Pharmacokinetics of Anti-Infective Agents during Cytosorb Hemoadsorption

Hemoadsorption with CytoSorb appears to increase to a clinically significant extent the clearance of five among 17 tested anti-infectives. Studies in human patients are required to confirm the need for dosage adjustment of these agents.
