Prophylactic Furosemide Infusion Decreasing Early Major Postoperative Renal Dysfunction in On-Pump Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of intra- and early postoperative furosemide infusion on preventing acute renal dysfunction in elective adult cardiac surgery.
Perspectives on the 2014 ESC/EACTS Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization : Fifty Years of Revascularization: Where Are We and Where Are We Heading?
The joint European Society of Cardiology and European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (ESC/EACTS) guidelines on myocardial revascularization collect and summarize the evidence regarding decision-making, diagnostics, and therapeutics in various clinical scenarios of coronary artery disease, including elective, urgent, and emergency settings.
Interhospital Transport System for Critically Ill Patients: Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation without a Ventilator
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been successfully used as a method for the interhospital transportation of critically ill patients. In South Korea, a well-established ECMO interhospital transport system is lacking due to limited resources. We developed a simplified ECMO transport system without mechanical ventilation for use by public emergency medical services.
Evaluation of Complications after Surgical Treatment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
In this study, we have compared the complications arising during the supraclavicular and the transaxillary approaches to determine the appropriate approach for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) surgery.
Analysis of Risk Factors for Conversion from Off-Pump to On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) is performed worldwide, but significant risks are associated with conversion to on-pump surgery. Therefore, we evaluated the composite outcomes between an OPCAB group and a conversion group.
Holy ECMO Batman! Another One Coming Thru the Door, What Have We Got Ourselves Into? (EP Video)
Because of personnel shortages, centers have begun to develop new and creative staffing models for maintaining coverage while still offering quality care.
Quantification of Operational Learning in Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation.
Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has initiated important new efforts within science and technology towards a more physiologic perfusion.
