Changing the Discussion about On-Pump Versus Off-Pump CABG

The performance of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) without the use of the heart–lung machine (pump) was introduced to avoid the damaging effects of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Methylene Blue for Postcardiopulmonary Bypass Vasoplegic Syndrome: A Cohort Study

We sought to determine whether Methylene blue (MB) improved blood pressure in postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) vasoplegic syndrome (VS) in a complex cardiac surgery population. Furthermore, to determine variables that predicted response to MB.

Extracorporeal Ultrafiltration for Fluid Overload in Heart Failure

More than 1 million heart failure hospitalizations occur annually, and congestion is the predominant cause. Rehospitalizations for recurrent congestion portend poor outcomes independently of age and renal function.

Thromboelastography for Predicting Bleeding in Patients with Aortic Stenosis Treated with TAVI

Bleeding complications are frequent and independently impact mortality after TAVI. Thromboelastography (TEG) measures viscoelastic properties of clot formation and is currently best known for perioperative management to reduce blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

Association Between Platelet Count and Postoperative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Fresh Frozen Plasma Administration Guided by Thromboelastometry

Coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is caused by multiple factors, including reduced coagulation factors and a low platelet count.

Effects of Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy on the Outcome of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review of Randomised Trials

Goal-directed optimisation of cerebral oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used. We tested the hypotheses that the use of NIRS cerebral oximetry results in reductions in cerebral injury (neurocognitive function, serum biomarkers), injury to other organs including the heart and brain, transfusion rates, mortality and resource use.
