Prolonged Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Without Anticoagulation: A Case of Goodpasture Syndrome-Related Pulmonary Haemorrhage
We present a 16-year-old male with severe acute respiratory and renal failure as a result of Goodpasture syndrome, requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for pulmonary hemorrhage.
Dexamethasone Levels Predict Cortisol Response after Infant Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We hypothesized that postoperative dexamethasone drug levels are highly variable, and that the infant stress response is related inversely to the amount of dexamethasone measured in the blood.
The Efficacy of Caudal Dexmedetomidine on Stress Response and Postoperative Pain in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
We studied efficacy of caudal dexmedetomidine (DEX) on attenuation of perioperative stress response and postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Effect of Pre-Bypass Methylprednisolone on Post-Operative Renal Function Following Correction of Atrial Septal Defect Under Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pre-bypass and post-bypass methylprednisolone on postoperative renal function after correction of ASD under CPB.
The Inflammatory Response to Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Should Steroid Prophylaxis be Routine
In adult cardiac surgery with CPB, steroids have been rigorously evaluated in multiple randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses.
Indications for Cardiopulmonary Bypass During Pregnancy and Impact on Fetal Outcomes
Cardiac operations in pregnant patients are a challenge for physicians in multidisciplinary teams due to the complexity of the condition which affects both mother and baby.
