Cardiopulmonary Bypass and ECMO for a Dandy Walker Syndrome Patient (EP Video)
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
The obligatory hemodilution resulting from crystalloid priming of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit represents a major risk factor for blood transfusion in cardiac operations. We therefore examined whether retrograde autologous priming of the bypass circuit would result in decreased hemodilution and red cell transfusion.
To explore Trans-esophageal Echo (TEE) as a monitoring device for hepatic blood flow during cardiac surgery and to correlate between the hepatic venous blood flow measurements and the liver function tests during normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.
Our aim was to provide a broad overview of the widely used methods for reducing post-operative blood loss after total hip arthroplasty.
