Ethical Considerations for Post-Cardiotomy Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Significant advances have been made in extracorporeal life support, which has resulted in the increased use of post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Retrospective studies have contributed to the ongoing evolution of selection criteria for post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Expanding the Availability of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
A healthy 14-year-old presented to an emergency department in Alaska, complaining of shortness of breath, chest pain, and 72 hours of malaise and headache.
High Mortality Associated with Intracardiac and Intrapulmonary Thromboses after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In this retrospective review, we attempt to identify risk factors and propose possible mechanisms of thromboses after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Formation of Intracardiac Thrombus During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Despite Full Heparinization and Adequate Activated Clotting Time: A Case Report
This case alerts the anesthesiologists of possible thrombus formation despite full heparinization during cardiac surgery and the importance of a comprehensive echocardiography examination.
High Mortality Associated with Intracardiac and Intrapulmonary Thromboses after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In this retrospective review, we attempt to identify risk factors and propose possible mechanisms of thromboses after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
An Evaluation of Factors Affecting Activated Coagulation Time
All these observations suggest that failure to achieve an adequate ACT is, in general, not an indicator of AT deficiency but could be affected by high platelet counts and low hemoglobin levels.
Influence of Hemodynamic Variations on the Pharmacokinetics of Landiolol in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery
We investigated the influence of hemodynamic variation and the following hepatocirculatory changes after systemic heparinization on the pharmacokinetics of landiolol in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
