Comparison of a Duraflo II-Coated Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit and a Trillium-Coated Oxygenator During Open-Heart Surgery
BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) evokes a systemic inflammatory response. In attempting to improve the biocompatibility of the equipment, various methods to coat […]
Methylprednisolone Prevents Inflammatory Reaction Occurring During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Effects on TNF-, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10
Objective: This study examined the correlation between tumour necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, IL-10 and methylprednisolone pretreatment. Methods: This is […]
Capillary Leakage in Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass causes a systemic inflammatory response, which can lead to capillary leak syndrome. In 15 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery […]
Blood-Air Interface during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the systemic blood activation with open and closed perfusion management during cardiopulmonary bypass. […]
Advantages of Subclavian Artery Perfusion for Repair of Acute Type A Dissection
Objective: Arterial perfusion through the right subclavian artery is proposed to avoid intraoperative malperfusion during repair of acute type A dissection. This […]
