The Impact of Slow Rewarming on Inotropy, Tissue Metabolism, and “After Drop” of Body Temperature in Pediatric Patients
Therefore, this study was performed to build a rewarming strategy aiming to improve the cardiac performance, minimize the early after-drop in both core and foot temperatures, and to achieve early achievement of homeostasis.
Can Lean Body Mass Be Used to Reduce the Dose of Heparin and Protamine for Obese Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass?
This study used bio-electrical impedance analysis as a simple, quick, and accurate method of calculating LBM.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Conscious Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of thoracic epidural anesthesia as an alternative technique to general anesthesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Influence on Human Osteoblasts Growth
The influence of progressively high concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human osteoblast hFOB1.19 proliferation was evaluated.
Clinical Evaluation of the Sorin Synthesis Oxygenator With Integrated Arterial Filter
Sorin Biomedica has designed an adult hollow-fiber oxygenator that not only incorporates their Mimesys biomimicry coating technology but also has a 40-micron arterial filter as an integrated component of this unique membrane oxygenator.
International Perfusion Journal Vol. 1 No. 1
This months IP Journal Is quite diverse and includes interviews with Bill Horgan, Rebekah Trittipoe, Michael Coamer and much more.
In Vivo Study on the Healing of Bone Defects Treated With Bone Marrow Stromal Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma and Freeze-Dried Bone Allografts, Alone and in Combination
The repair of confined trabecular bone defects in rabbits treated by autologous bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC), platelet rich plasma (PRP), freeze-dried bone allografts (FDBA) alone and in combination (BMSC+PRP; FDBA+BMSC; FDBA+PRP; FDBA+PRP+BMSC) was compared.
Cardioprotective Effects of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
In a prospective, randomized controlled trial, we studied the efficacy of ANH in anesthetized patients prior to cardiopulmonary bypass for the prevention of myocardial injuries.
Time and Risk Analysis for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery Performed by Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest, Cerebral Perfusion, and Open distal aortic anastomosis
The aim of this study was to analyze time and risk factors during surgical management.
Transplantation of Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Into the Myocardium of Patients Undergoing Coronary Bypass
We have assessed the safety and feasibility of intramyocardial transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived cells in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Right Axillary Artery Cannulation for Surgical Management of the Hostile Ascending Aorta
Arterial perfusion through the axillary artery provides sufficient antegrade aortic flow, is more likely to perfuse the true lumen in the event of dissection, and is associated with fewer atheroembolic complications.
Is There Cognitive Decline 1 Year After CABG? Comparison With Surgical and Nonsurgical Controls
Because most studies have not included comparable control groups, it remains unclear whether postoperative cognitive changes are specific to cardiopulmonary bypass, general aspects of surgery, or vascular pathologies of the aging brain.
