Role of Thrombolestagrophy in Monitoring Perioperative Coagulation Status and Effect of Thromboprophylaxis in Bariatric Surgery
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the hypercoagulability state and the effect of antithrombotic prophylaxis on thromboelastogram (TEG) results in bariatric surgery.
Wavelet Cross-Correlation to Investigate Regional Variations in Cerebral Oxygenation in Infants Supported on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We applied wavelet cross-correlation (WCC) between multichannel cerebral oxyhemoglobin concentration (HbO(2)) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), to assess regional variations in cerebral autoregulation.
Monitoring Incomplete Heparin Reversal and Heparin Rebound After Cardiac Surgery
ACT is not able to detect residual heparin activity
Adenosine in Cold Blood Cardioplegia–A Placebo-Controlled Study
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the addition of adenosine in continuous cold blood cardioplegia would enhance myocardial protection.
The Endocrinological Responses of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation on hHypoxic Fetal Lambs
This study suggested that V-V ECMO may possibly be less invasive than V-A ECMO for fetal heart
Remote Ischemic Precondition Preserves Cerebral Oxygen Tension during Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
This study shows that RIPC performed before HCA conserves the cerebral oxygen tension during a circulatory arrest.
Platelet Function Measurement-Based Strategy to Reduce Bleeding and Waiting Time in Clopidogrel-Treated Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
We evaluated the role of platelet function testing in clopidogrel-treated patients undergoing CABG.
Contribution of Endogenous Bradykinin to Fibrinolysis, Inflammation, and Blood Product Transfusion Following Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study tested the hypothesis that endogenous bradykinin contributes to the fibrinolytic and inflammatory response to CPB
Admission Rapid Thrombelastography Can Replace Conventional Coagulation Tests in the Emergency Department: Experience with 1974 Consecutive Trauma Patients
We hypothesized that r-TEGs more reliably predict blood component transfusion than CCTs.
Use of a Single-Circuit CentriMag® for Biventricular Support in Postpartum Cardiomyopathy
This technology allows for the CentriMag® to be considered as an early option for biventricular support in the treatment and management of these patients as a bridge to recovery.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Detected Cerebral Ischemia Resolved by Cannulation of an Axillo-Femoral Graft during Surgical Repair of Type A Aortic Dissection
We report the case of a patient who experienced near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-detected transient regional cerebral desaturation during cardiopulmonary bypass for an operation to replace the aortic arch.
Variability in Surgeons’ Perioperative Practices May Influence the Incidence of Low-Output Failure after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
We sought to understand which pre- and intra-operative factors contribute to postoperative LOF and to what degree the surgeon may influence rates of LOF
