Evaluation of Oxygenators and Centrifugal Pumps for Long-term Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Two extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits for children under 10 kg were evaluated and compared for plasma leakage, hemolysis, blood transfusions, and durability.
Establishing An Association Between A Peri-Operative Perfusion Score System (PerfSCORE) and Post-Operative Patient Morbidity/Mortality During CPB Cardiac Surgery
The purpose was to create a new method for evaluating the quality of care the perfusionist provides during CPB procedures and to deduce whether it predicts patient morbidity and mortality.
Intra-aortic Balloon Pump-induced Pulsatile Flow Reduces Coagulative and Fibrinolytic Response to Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The aim of this study is to evaluate if a simple intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-induced pulsatile perfusion reduces activation of coagulative system during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Reduction of Hemodilution in Small Adults Undergoing Open Heart Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Trial
Given that there is an association between the degree of hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postoperative complications, patients-outcome might be improved if the nadir hematocrit concentration is kept within an optimal range.
Coagulation Monitoring: Current Techniques and Clinical Use of Viscoelastic Point-of-Care Coagulation Devices
Perioperative monitoring of blood coagulation is critical to better understand causes of hemorrhage, to guide hemostatic therapies, and to predict the risk of bleeding during the consecutive anesthetic or surgical procedures.
