Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for the Management of Massive Amlodipine Overdose
Early institution of ECMO should be considered for the management of respiratory failure and refractory shock in the setting of calcium channel blocker overdose when medical therapies are insufficient.
Volatile Anesthetic-Induced Preconditioning
The myocardium has an innate ability to protect itself from ischemic events.
Total Artificial Heart in the Pediatric Patient with Biventricular Heart Failure
SynCardia Systems, Inc. recommends a minimum patient body surface area (BSA) of 1.7 m2, thus, limiting pediatric application of this device
Assessment of Team Training in Management of Adverse Acute Events Occurring during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedure: A Pilot Study based on an Animal Simulation Model (Fouilloux, Team Training in Cardiac Surgery)
The objective of this pilot study was to assess our method of training and learning in an attempt to optimize and improve team management and functioning.
Impact of an Open-Chest Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Model for in situ Simulated Team Training: A Pilot Study
To develop an affordable realistic open-chest extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) model for embedded in situ interprofessional crisis resource management training in emergency management of a post-cardiac surgery child.
Seek and You Shall Find–But Then What Do You Do? Cold Agglutinins in Cardiopulmonary Bypass and a Single-Center Experience with Cold Agglutinin Screening before Cardiac Surgery
We reviewed the literature on cold agglutinins in cardiac surgery
Reliability of Different Body Temperature Measurement Sites during Aortic Surgery
We conclude that tympanic temperature measurements correlate with arterial blood temperature monitoring during aortic surgery with HCA and ACP and, therefore, should replace bladder and rectal measurements.
