Neuroprotection During Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery continues to be associated with significant adverse cerebral outcomes, ranging from stroke to cognitive decline.
Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Wound Healing in Rabbits
The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the healing of full-thickness skin wounds was accelerated by platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Analysis of a Rapid, Simple, and Inexpensive Technique Used to Obtain Platelet-Rich Plasma for Use in Clinical Practice
The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become more generally accepted, and implant dentists are using PRP more frequently to promote the healing of oral surgical and/or periodontal wounds.
Non-Activated Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Prevention of Inguinal Wound-Related Complications After Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
The aim of this report was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraoperative application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the prevention of wound-related complications in AAA EVAR.
Principles of Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion During Arch Reconstruction in Newborns/Infants
Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is a cardiopulmonary bypass technique that uses special cannulation procedures to perfuse only the brain during neonatal and infant aortic arch reconstruction.
Platelet-Rich Plasma in Orthapedic Surgery (Video)
This video highlight the use of PRP in Orthapedic and Tendon surgery.
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Presentation for Datascope CS100
This presentation focuses on IABP therapy and is intended for nursing education.
Reducing the Effects of the Systemic Inflammatory Response to Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Can Single Dose Steroids Blunt Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome?
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the development of a significant systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which can affect patient outcomes.
Evaluation of Platelet Gel Characteristics Using Thrombin Produced by the Thrombin Processing Device: A Comparative Study
Autologous platelet gels can be prepared using the patient's own platelet-rich plasma and thrombin produced by the Thrombin Processing Device (Thermogenesis Corp, Rancho Cordova, CA).
Activation of Platelet-Rich Plasma Using Soluble Type I Collagen
In this work, our hypothesis was that soluble type I collagen would be as effective as bovine thrombin in causing clotting of the PRP and stimulating growth factor release from the platelets and granulocytes.
