Oxygen Delivery, Oxygen Consumption and Decreased Kidney Function After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study could not confirm an evident correlation between O2 delivery and O2 consumption or kidney function decrease, even at values below previously specified critical levels.
Extended Indications for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Operating Room
As the number of indications for ECLS in the operating room is growing, anesthesiology and surgical staff should become familiar with the perioperative management of patients on ECLS.
Evidence Maps: a Tool to Guide Research Agenda Setting
In this article, we explain how evidence maps serve a goal and outline the steps required to build effective evidence maps.
St Thomas’ Hospital Polarizing Blood Cardioplegia Improves Hemodynamic Recovery in a Porcine Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Polarized cardiac arrest offers similar myocardial protection and enhances functional recovery in a porcine model of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Gray platelet syndrome: Management of Perioperative Bleeding in Redo Cardiac Surgery
We hereby describe the perioperative bleeding prevention and management of a patient with GPS requiring multiple redo cardiac surgeries.
Trends and Outcomes of Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States
RBC transfusion is associated with worse clinical outcomes in TAVR patients without bleeding, but not in those with overt bleeding.
Factors Affecting Cardiovascular Physiology in Cardiothoracic Surgery: Implications for Lumped-Parameter Modeling
Cardiothoracic surgeries are complex procedures during which the patient cardiovascular physiology is constantly changing due to various factors.
International Society of Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases Guidelines for the Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera Infection Following Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Mycobacterial infection-related morbidity and mortality in patients following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery is high and and there is a growing need for a consensus-based expert opinion to provide international guidance for diagnosing, preventing and treating in these patients.
In Vivo Comparison of the Optiflow and EZ Glide Aortic Dispersion Cannulas
Morbidity associated with coronary artery bypass grafts and embolization during aortic cannulation is strongly related to patient characteristics/comorbidities, arterial cannulation site used and the shape of arterial cannulae tips.
A Patient With Remote Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia and Antiphospholipid Syndrome Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Do Current Guidelines Apply?
Anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is required to prevent acute disseminated intravascular coagulation and clot formation within the bypass circuit.
