New Clinical Practice Guidelines Recommend Use of Arteries Rather than Veins in Heart Bypass Surgery
he Society of Thoracic Surgeons has released new clinical practice guidelines that recommend expanding the use of arteries from the chest and forearm rather than using veins from the leg when performing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in certain patients.
Performance Evaluation of the Plateletworks® in the Measurement of Blood Cell Counts as compared to the Beckman Coulter Unicel DXH 800
The purpose of this study is to determine the performance of the Plateletworks?V BC 3200 automated hematology analyzer by correlating its precision, accuracy and linearity for the measurement of blood counts to our hospital central laboratory analyzer (Beckman Coulter Unicel DXH 800).

Feasibility, Efficacy, and Safety of a Simple Insulin Infusion Protocol in a Large Volume Cardiac Surgery Unit in India
This observational study was planned to measure the efficacy and safety of the insulin infusion protocol in cardiac surgery patients.
Risk Score Model for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease In Asymptomatic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
No model has been developed to predict significant coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we sought to develop a model for the prediction of significant CAD on CCTA in these patients.
The Role of Point-of-Care Assessment of Platelet Function in Predicting Postoperative Bleeding and Transfusion Requirements After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Platelet function assessment after cardiac surgery can predict postoperative blood loss, guide transfusion requirements and discriminate the need for surgical re-exploration.
The Perception of Evidence for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Current Practices after Cardiac Surgery: A Canadian Cross-Sectional Survey
The objective of our study was to extract current patterns of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis practices in cardiac surgery patients. We also aimed to identify health care professionals knowledge of available evidence supporting VTE prophylaxis in adult cardiac surgery patients.
