Argatroban as an Alternative to Heparin in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuits
These results suggest that argatroban may be more efficacious than heparin for anticoagulation in ECMO.
Induction and Detection of Disturbed Homeostasis in Cardiopulmonary Bypass
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) haemodynamic alterations, haemostasis and the inflammatory response are the main causes of homeostatic disruption.
Argatroban as an Alternative to Heparin in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuits
These results suggest that argatroban may be more efficacious than heparin for anticoagulation in ECMO.
Contamination of Anaesthetic Gases With Nitric Oxide and its Influence on Oxygenation: Study in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery
Compressed air and nitrous oxide contain very low concentrations of nitric oxide (<10 ppb). This can affect pulmonary oxygen transfer during anaesthesia.
Effect of Lidocaine on Ischaemic Preconditioning in Isolated Rat Heart
Lidocaine blocks the cardioprotection induced by ischaemic preconditioning only at supratherapeutic concentrations.
Risk Factor Screening Scale to Optimize Treatment for Potential Heart Transplant Candidates under Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
The RFSS provides a way to predict which ECMO-supported patients are suitable candidates for VAD implantation or HTx.
ECMO After Lung Transplantation: Evolving Technique Improves Outcomes
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation results have improved with advances in oxygenator technology and surgical techniques.
Does Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Improve Oxygenation Indices in Patients With Mild Lung Dysfunction?
For patients with mild lung dysfunction, a leucocyte-depleting arterial line filter improves postoperative oxygenation, reduces extravascular lung water accumulation, and reduces time on artificial ventilator after CPB.
Outcomes of Congenital Heart Surgery Patients After Extracorporeal Life Support at Texas Children’s Hospital
The objective of this study was to investigate the outcomes of children with heart failure of various etiologies requiring temporary use of […]
Coronary Artery Calcification and Family History of Premature Coronary Heart Disease: Sibling History Is More Strongly Associated Than Parental History
Our study demonstrates a highly significant association between FH of premature CHD and the presence and extent of CAC.
