The Influence Of Gaseous Microemboli On Various Biomarkers After Minimized Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Gaseous microemboli that originate from the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit may contribute to adverse outcome after cardiac surgery. We prospectively evaluated the influence of gaseous microemboli on the release of various biomarkers after use of a minimally invasive extracorporeal technology system.
Intraoperative Mechanical Ventilation And Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Cardiac Surgery
In this retrospective analysis, the intraoperative ventilation bundle was associated with a lower rate of postoperative pulmonary complicationsLower modified driving pressure was independently associated with fewer pulmonary complications BACKGROUND:: Compared with historic ventilation strategies, modern lung-protective ventilation includes lower tidal volumes (VT), lower driving pressures, and application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The contributions of each component to an overall intraoperative protective ventilation strategy aimed at reducing postoperative pulmonary complications have neither been adequately resolved, nor comprehensively evaluated within an adult cardiac surgical population.
Extracorporeal Life Support for Adults With Respiratory Failure and Related Indications: A Review
The substantial growth over the last decade in the use of extracorporeal life support for adults with acute respiratory failure reveals an enthusiasm for the technology not always consistent with the evidence. However, recent high-quality data, primarily in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, have made extracorporeal life support more widely accepted in clinical practice.
Patient Blood Management Is Not About Blood Transfusion: It Is About Patients’ Outcomes
Patient Blood Management (PBM) is "the timely application of evidence-based medical and surgical concepts designed to maintain hemoglobin concentration, optimize hemostasis and minimize blood loss in an effort to improve patient outcome".
