Numerical Investigation of a Novel Aortic Cannula Aimed at Reducing Cerebral Embolism during Cardiovascular Bypass Surgery
The aim of the current work was to numerically investigate the hemodynamic efficiency and feasibility of a novel, backward suction cannula (BSC), designed to drastically reduce the potential risk for cerebral emboli (CEP).
Fibrinogen Supplementation in Cardiac Surgery: Where Are We Now And Where Are We Going?
Studies have emphasized the importance of normal fibrinogen concentrations in surgical patients.
A New Formula for Determining Arterial Oxygen Saturation during Venovenous Extracorporeal Oxygenation
We found a relationship between arterial oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) and its relevant parameters.
Low Hemorrhage-Related Mortality in Trauma Patients in a Level I Trauma Center Employing Transfusion Packages and Early Thromboelastography-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation with Plasma and Platelets
This was a prospective study of adult trauma patients admitted to a Level I trauma center. Demography, Injury Severity Score (ISS), transfusion therapy, and mortality were registered. Hemostatic resuscitation was based on a massive transfusion protocol encompassing transfusion packages and thromboelastography (TEG)-guided therapy.
PHD2 Silencing Enhances the Survival and Paracrine Function of Transplanted Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Infarcted Myocardium
We studied if and how Prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 silencing in human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) enhances their cardioprotective effects after transplantation into infarcted hearts.
