Outcomes of Cardiovascular Surgery Utilizing Heparin versus Direct Thrombin Inhibitors in Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients with Previously Diagnosed HIT
DTI appears to be safe in selected patients undergoing CPB after a diagnosis of HIT, and was not associated with higher rates of 30-day mortality, thrombosis, or hemorrhage.
The Prophylactic Use of Fibrinogen Concentrate in High‐Risk Cardiac Surgery
This randomized, controlled trial demonstrates that point‐of‐care guided and prophylactic treatment with fibrinogen concentrate does not reduce transfusion of blood products in a setting of unexpectedly low transfusion rate as tested in this cohort, but may improve coagulation parameters in the setting of high‐risk cardiac surgery.
Anti-Oxidative or Anti-Inflammatory Additives Reduce Ischemia/reperfusions Injury in an Animal Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
While epigallocatechin-3-gallate or minocycline did not improve cardiac hemodynamics, markers of myocardial damage were significantly lower in the CPB-groups with epigallocatechin-3-gallate or minocycline supplementation.
Usefulness of a New Device to Monitor Cerebral Blood Oxygenation Using NIRS During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest: A Pilot Study
This study suggests that the NIRO-CCR1 can measure CBO during CPR in patients with cardiac arrest as effectively as the NIRO-200NX.
Effective Handling of Substantial Arterial Air Embolization During Extracorporeal Perfusion
This report highlights the need for a coordinated approach to substantial arterial air embolization, considering the high risk of neurologic injury.
Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein and Cerebral Oxygenation in Neonates Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The potential value as a biomarker for cerebral injury after neonatal cardiac surgery warrants further investigation; in particular, the association with neurodevelopmental outcome needs to be determined.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Perioperative Care of the Lung Transplant Patient
Future studies will need to improve patient selection to fully take advantage of the use of ECMO in LT while minimizing its costs.
Development of a Prototype Anti-Pollution Filter for Volatile Anesthetics
The new version of our prototype filter adsorbed most of the volatile anesthetics agents during an ex-vivo simulated conventional cardiopulmonary bypass test.
2019 EACTS/EACTA/EBCP Guidelines on Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adult Cardiac Surgery: a Tool to Better Clinical Practice
‘To improve the outcome of adult patients undergoing heart surgery’
Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality in Adult Postcardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock Patients Successfully Weaned from Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Sequential organ failure assessment score might help clinicians to predict in-hospital mortality for patients successfully weaned from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Differences Between Central Venous and Cerebral Tissue Oxygen Saturation in Anaesthetised Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
We hypothesised that diabetes widens the physiological saturation gap between ScvO2 and rSO2 (gSO2), and the width of this gap may vary during various phases of cardiac surgery.
Biocompatibility of a Polymer-Coated Membrane Possessing a Hydrophilic Blood-Contacting Layer: Adsorption-Related Assessment
Thus, acrylate-based copolymer coating could inhibit the adsorption of various peptide compounds.
