Influence of Residual Blood Autotransfused From Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit on Clinical Outcome After Cardiac
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the autologous autotransfusion of centrifuged red blood cells from the residual blood of the CPB circuit in patients following heart surgery.
Dextran Sulfate as a Leukocyte–Endothelium Adhesion Molecule Inhibitor of Lung Injury in Pediatric Open-Heart Surgery
To prevent this injury, we used a leukocyte–endothelial cell adhesion molecule blocking agent, dextran sulfate, in a clinical setting.

Effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Selected Neutrophil Functions in Children With Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
The aim of our study was to investigate alterations in expression of adhesion molecules and L-selectin on neutrophils, and soluble adhesion molecules levels in CCHD children.
The Strong Ion Gap Predicts Mortality in Children Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
Our study objectives were as follows: a) to determine the 24-hr profile of the strong ion gap following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; and b) to compare the prognostic value in terms of intensive care unit mortality of this variable with blood lactate.
Low Postoperative Hematocrit Increases Cerebrovascular Damage After Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
The objective of this study was to evaluate the systemic and cerebral effects of different postoperative hematocrit management following cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
