Use of Extracorporeal Respiratory Support during Pregnancy: A Case Report and Literature Review
We describe the case of a 25 year-old woman at 27 weeks of gestation.
Meta-Analysis of the Studies of Bleeding Complications of Platelets Pathogen-Reduced with the Intercept System
Treatment with Intercept may increase the risk of all and clinically significant (albeit not severe) bleeding complications in RCTs maintaining a platelet count of ≥10×10(9) or ≥20×10(9)/l through increased platelet transfusions.
Compliant Model of a Coupled Sequential Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft: Effects of Vessel Wall Elasticity and Non-Newtonian Rheology on Blood Flow Regime and Hemodynamic Parameters Distribution
We have recently developed a novel design for coronary arterial bypass surgical grafting, consisting of coupled sequential side-to-side and end-to-side anastomoses.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation–An Anaesthesiologist’s Perspective–Part II: Clinical and Technical Consideration
The clinical considerations and indicators for placing the patient on ECMO, the various circuit configurations, clinical and technical issues, and management aspects are considered in this article.
How we Provide Transfusion Support for Neonatal and Pediatric Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this article, we describe our protocol for transfusion support for ECMO and potential ECMO patients.
Patient-Specific Multiscale Modeling of Blood Flow for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
We observe that PV loops do not change significantly after CABG but that both coronary perfusion and local hemodynamic parameters near the anastomosis region change substantially.
Pediatric and Neonatal Extracorporeal Life Support Technology Component Utilization: Are US Clinicians Implementing New Technology?
This survey indicates that over one-half of ECLS centers implemented new technology within the past 3 years.
Effect of Patient Education in the Management of Coronary Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials
Our review had insufficient power to exclude clinically important effects of education on mortality and morbidity.
Renal Replacement Therapy in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This review summarizes available epidemiologic data and how they apply to our understanding of AKI pathophysiology during ECMO.
Factors Associated with Prolonged Recovery after the Arterial Switch Operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries in Infants
This study aimed specifically to identify the predictors of prolonged recovery after the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries in infants.
Fluid Overload and Changes in Serum Creatinine after Cardiac Surgery: Predictors of Mortality and Longer Intensive Care Stay. A Prospective Cohort Study
The aim of this study was to evaluate fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine as predictors of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery.
