An Evaluation of Hard-Shell Venous Reservoir Integrated Pressure Relief Valve Pressure Mitigation Performance
Significant variability among reservoir’s IPRV to mitigate reservoir pressurization exists.
Sex Differences in Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
This study demonstrated that female patients who undergo CABG are at a greater risk of in-hospital death and 30-day and 90-day readmission compared with men. This sex-based disparity in outcomes has persisted since identification some 40 years ago.
Myocardial Perfusion and Cardiac Dimensions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Supported Circulation in A Porcine Model of Critical Post-Cardiotomy Failure
Coronary artery blood flow is maintained during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest despite severely affected performance of the left ventricle.
Hematologic Consequences of the Coronavirus Crisis—Focus on Relevant Clues and Complications for the Perioperative Cardiothoracic and Vascular Community
The purpose of this freestanding editorial is to highlight the hematologic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic as they provide clues and challenges for the delivery of high-quality patient care.
Advanced Age and Sex Influence Baseline Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation as Measured by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: Subanalysis of a Prospective Study
Baseline rScO 2, as measured by the INVOS 5100, decreases with advanced age and is lower in women. New definitions of cerebral oxygen desaturation need to be analyzed in future trials that will evaluate neurologic outcome in the aging population or in women.
Survival Following Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Postcardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock Adults
Older age, left main coronary artery disease, and vasoactive inotropic score were associated with 36-month mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients who received venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Influence of A Cell Salvage Washing System and Leukocyte Reduction Filtration on Bacterial Contamination of Canine Whole Blood Ex Vivo.
Cell salvage washing combined with leukoreduction filtration eliminated bacterial contamination of whole dog blood (P < .0001).
Outcomes of End-Organ Function and Survival with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Maintaining perfusion with VA-ECMO utilization on indicated patients demonstrated improvements in end-organ functions. Survival rates of VA-ECMO patients were also optimistic.
The Relationships of Cerebral and Somatic Oxygen Saturation with Physiological Parameters in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Analysis Using the Random-Effects Model.
Through the whole surgical period, ScO2 correlated strongly with mean blood pressure regardless of the physiological type. the physiological parameters affecting ScO2 and SrO2 were rather different. Accordingly, the significance of monitoring of cerebral and somatic tissue oxygen saturation in pediatric cardiac surgery should be further evaluated.
Impact of Haemolysis On Vancomycin Disposition in A Full-Term Neonate Treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Vancomycin elimination may be severely prolonged due to ECMO-induced haemolysis and acute kidney injury, while hypothesis of direct increase of vancomycin levels by releasing the drug from blood cells during haemolysis has been disproved.
Population Pharmacokinetics of Cefazolin Before, During and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
PPK modelling with simulation may be valuable for devising a cefazolin prophylaxis protocol for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB.
