CASMED Cerebral Oximetry (Video)
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
Our objective was to determine whether the use of unilateral (u-ACP) or bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (b-ACP) results in different mortality and neurologic outcomes after complex aortic surgery.
Antifibrinolytic drugs including aprotinin and tranexamic acid are currently used in cardiac surgery to reduce postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements, and may have different effects on platelets.
Low perfused vessel density and high microcirculatory heterogeneity are associated with an increased intensity and duration of lactic acidosis after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
