Renal Hemodynamics and Oxygenation during Experimental Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Sheep Under Total Intravenous Anesthesia
Use of propofol/fentanyl-based TIVA may not be a useful strategy to avoid renal medullary hypoxia during CPB.
Pumping O2 with no N2 — An Overview of Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenators with Integrated Arterial Filters
The advancement of cardiac surgery benefits from the continual technological progress of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Thrombocytopenia After Cardiopulmonary Bypass is Associated with Increased Morbidity and Mortality
Thrombocytopenia is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients, and is common following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Monitoring of the Sublingual Microcirculation During Cardiac Surgery: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
Handheld vital microscopes allow for direct observation of the sublingual microcirculatory perfusion during cardiac surgery.
Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Cardiogenic Shock: An Introduction for the Busy Clinician
We provide a practical review for cardiovascular clinicians on the application of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients with cardiogenic shock
Hemostasis Management of Patients Undergoing Emergency Cardiac Surgery After Ticagrelor Loading
Pharmacologic Inhibition of platelet P2Y12 receptors has become the mainstay of therapy in the management of acute coronary syndrome.
High-Flow Therapy by Nasal Cannulae Versus High-Flow Face Mask in Severe Hypoxemia After Cardiac Surgery: A Single-Center Randomized Controlled Study—The HEART FLOW Study
To determine whether high-flow oxygen therapy by nasal cannulae (HFNC) is more effective than a high-flow face mask (HFFM) in severe hypoxemia.
Viscoelastic Blood Tests Use in Adult Cardiac Surgery: Meta-Analysis, Meta-Regression, and Trial Sequential Analysis
This study demonstrated that the use of VE assays in cardiac surgical patients is effective in reducing allogenic blood products exposure, postoperative bleeding at 12 and 24 hours after surgery, and the need for redo surgery unrelated to surgical bleeding.
Predictors for Acute and Chronic Renal Failure and Survival in Patients Supported with Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this study, we investigated the occurrence of acute and chronic kidney failure in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients as well as predictors for survival.
Platelet Rich Plasma in Treatment of Musculoskeletal Pathologies
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been available as a biological treatment for healing or regeneration of impaired or non-functional tissues.
Comparative Pharmacological Profiles of Various Bovine, Ovine, and Porcine Heparins
These studies have demonstrated that OMH and PMH have comparable anticoagulant and antiproteases activities. However, BMH exhibited somewhat a lower potency compared to OMH and PMH in functional assays.
Post-operative Blood Loss is Higher Among African American Neonates Undergoing Open-heart Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass for CHD
Among neonates with CHD undergoing open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, African-American race is independently associated with greater chest tube output over the first 24 hours post-operatively.
