Effect of Targeting Mean Arterial Pressure During Cardiopulmonary Bypass by Monitoring Cerebral Autoregulation on Postsurgical Delirium Among Older Patients
Delirium occurs in up to 52% of patients after cardiac surgery and may result from changes in cerebral perfusion. Using intraoperative cerebral autoregulation monitoring to individualize and optimize cerebral perfusion may be a useful strategy to reduce the incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery.
Impact of 2 Distinct Levels of Mean Arterial Pressure on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy During Cardiac Surgery: Secondary Outcome From a Randomized Clinical Trial
The aim of the present study was in a randomized, blinded design to elucidate the effect of 2 distinct levels of MAP on rScO2 values during CPB.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
We conducted a systematic literature review of animal models combining features of experimental ARDS with ECMO to better understand this situation.
Establishing a Ventilator-Heart Lung Machine Communication Bridge to Mitigate Errors when Weaning from Bypass
The objective of this project was to create a redundant safety system of verbal and electronic communication to prevent failure to ventilate errors after cardiopulmonary bypass.
