Efficacy of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Acute Myocardial Infarction with Cardiogenic Shock
AIM: We analyzed the results of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and investigated […]
Safety and Feasibility of Intra-Operative Device Closure of Atrial Septal Defect with Transthoracic Minimal Invasion
The study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intra-operative device closure of atrial septal defect with transthoracic minimal invasion.
Bivalirudin and Post-Cardiotomy ECMO: A Word of Caution
Bivalirudin has been proposed as the sole anticoagulant in patients under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or cardiopulmonary bypass.
The Effects of Conventional Extracorporeal Circulation Versus Miniaturized Extracorporeal Circulation on Microcirculation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
To reduce the complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery, many modifications have been made to conventional extracorporeal circulation systems.
Pharmacokinetic Changes in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation further complicates the management of critically ill patients who already have profound physiologic derangements with consequent altered pharmacokinetics.
Eye-Tracking Analysis of Skilled Performance in Clinical Extracorporeal Circulation
Eye-tracking data on four perfusionists were recorded while they were manipulating the ECC during a series of cardiovascular surgeries.
