Thromboelastography Profiles of Critically Ill Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019
A large proportion of critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 have hypercoagulable thromboelastography profiles with additional derangements related to fibrinogen and platelet function. As the majority of patients have an elevated thromboelastography maximum amplitude, a follow-up study evaluating platelet aggregation would be instructive.
A Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Investigation of an ε-Aminocaproic Acid Regimen Designed for Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This regimen provided maximum EACA concentrations near the time of protamine administration, with a total perioperative dose of 15 g.
Blood Management in A Patient with Anti-Oka Antibody Who Underwent Cardiac Surgery Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Case Report
Multidisciplinary intraoperative blood management in a patient with anti-Oka antibody facilitated successful cardiac surgery using CPB, along with effective use of limited blood products.
Efficacy of Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN) To Facilitate the Rewarming Process During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Higher dose GTN infusion during rewarming on CPB does not improve peripheral-core temperature gradient post operatively and has no effect on post-operative lactate concentrations.
Effect of Antithrombin in Fresh Frozen Plasma on Hemostasis After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
Fresh frozen plasma administration increased antithrombin activity and caused activated clotting time prolongation, but then increased clotting ability. Thus, testing by rotational thromboelastometry after cardiopulmonary bypass could be valuable in the detection of comprehensive clotting ability.
Conventional Versus Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation In Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Protocol For A Randomised Controlled Trial (COMICS)
The trial is feasible but criteria for progressing to a full trial were not met on time. The Trial Steering and Data Monitoring Committees have recommended that the trial should currently continue.
Continuous Cerebral and Myocardial Selective Perfusion in Neonatal Aortic Arch Surgery
CCMSP is a safe and reproducible strategy for cerebral, myocardial and visceral protection in neonatal aortic arch repair, with or without VSD closure, resulting in low complication and mortality.
Effects Of Pulmonary Perfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass On Lung Functions After Cardiac Operation
Pulmonary artery perfusion during aortic cross‐clamping provides better oxygenation and preservation of the wall alveolar integrity after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
Cardiovascular Manifestations and Treatment Considerations In COVID-19
COVID-19 contributes to cardiovascular complications, including acute myocardial injury as a result of acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis, stress-cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest.
Is There a “Blind Spot” in Point-of-Care Testing for Residual Heparin After Cardiopulmonary Bypass? A Prospective, Observational Cohort Study
This difference suggests that an interference in the detection of residual heparinization with point-of-care methods exists right after the application of protamine, which seems to subside after a short time span.
Preoperative C-Reactive Protein as A Predictor of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Owing to variability in acute kidney injury definitions and C-reactive protein levels for different cohorts in the observational studies reviewed, it is unclear from current evidence what serum C-reactive protein cut-off level is significantly associated with postoperative acute kidney injury.
