Low-Flow Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion Attenuates Early Renal and Intestinal Injury During Neonatal Aortic Arch Reconstruction
These results substantiate earlier suggestions that ACP provides more abdominal organ protection than DHCA in neonates undergoing aortic arch reconstruction.
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome after Extracorporeal Circulation: A Predictive Algorithm for the Patient at Risk
The results suggest a new theory regarding the development of perioperative SIRS.
Silent Brain Injury after Cardiac Surgery: A Review: Cognitive Dysfunction and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Findings
The appearance of cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery in the absence of focal neurologic signs, a poorly understood but potentially devastating complication, almost certainly results from procedure-related brain injury.
Short-Acting P2Y12 Blockade to Reduce Platelet Dysfunction and Coagulopathy During Experimental Extracorporeal Circulation and Hypothermia
This experimental study tested P(2)Y(12) receptor blockade as an approach to protect platelets during ECC.
Safety of Training and Assessment in Operating Theatres – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This article establishes a systematic evidence base for the safety of training in the operating theatre.
Right Ventricular Dysfunction Following Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement in 51 Patients: Predicators and Outcomes
The adjustment of septal deviation through gradual increase of the LVAD flow can prevent the acute RV dysfunction following LVAD placement.
Cold Reperfusion Before Rewarming Reduces Neurological Events after Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
Before rewarming, a 10-min period of cold perfusion significantly reduces incidence of NE.
Non-Invasive Estimation of Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation: A Comparison Between Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Transcutaneous Venous Oximetry
Placement of cerebral oximetry patches directly over the internal jugular vein (as opposed to on the forehead) appeared to approximate internal jugular venous saturation better...
Establishment of a Co-Culture Model for Studying Inflammation after Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass: From Bench to Bedside
Our coculture model could be useful for studies on the mechanisms of CPB-induced inflammation.
A Review of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation Associated with Cardiac Surgery and Anaesthesia
We briefly discuss the evidence for cardiopulmonary bypass-related neuronal injuries in adult cardiac surgery patients, and review the evidence that immune priming is a key factor in the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery.
The Early Inflammatory Response in A Mini-Cardiopulmonary Bypass System: A Prospective Randomized Study
The Medtronic RHS may induce less systemic inflammation than conventional CPB systems, particularly when cardiotomy suction was used, but it did not result in improved clinical benefit.
Is it Worth Packing the Head with Ice in Patients Undergoing Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest?
We conclude that topical head cooling with ice is of use during DHCA but not during rewarming following DHCA and that it may be possible to advance topical head cooling techniques using circulating water rather than packed ice.
