A Clinical Approach to Attenuate Hyperkalemia During Cardiopulmonary Bypass (EP Video)

Outcomes of Less Invasive J-Incision Approach to Aortic Valve Surgery

Within that portion of the spectrum of isolated aortic valve surgery where propensity matching was possible, minimally invasive aortic valve surgery had not only cosmetic advantages, but blood product use, respiratory, pain, and resource utilization advantages over full sternotomy, and no apparent detriments.

Central Venous O₂ Saturation and Venous-to-Arterial CO₂ Difference as Complementary Tools for Goal-Directed Therapy During High-Risk Surgery

We tested the hypothesis that central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (P(cv-a)CO2), a global index of tissue perfusion, could be used as a complementary tool to ScvO2 for goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) to identify persistent low flow after optimization of preload has been achieved by fluid loading during high-risk surgery.
