Fibrin Network Changes in Neonates after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Quantitative and qualitative differences in the hemostatic systems exist between neonates and adults, including the presence of “fetal” fibrinogen, a qualitatively dysfunctional form of fibrinogen that exists until 1 yr of age
In vitro elimination of gaseous microemboli utilizing hypobaric oxygenation in the Terumo® FX15 oxygenator
This study examines the efficacy of hypobaric oxygenation as it relates to the elimination of gaseous microemboli (GME) at designated flow, pressure and temperature combinations.
Rapid Rewarming During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Is Associated With Cerebral Injury
Hori and colleagues [1] investigated rewarming strategies in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and their relationship with plasma levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a serum protein generated by ischemic or necrotic cerebral astrocytes, or both.
The response of the microcirculation to cardiac surgery
Cardiac surgery is associated with a wide range of microvascular derangements and with reduced tissue oxygenation.

Short-term outcomes in adult cardiac surgery in the use of del Nido cardioplegia solution
Del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery has not been studied although it has been in common use as a “single” dose cardioplegia in pediatric heart surgery.
Preoperative Low Serum Bicarbonate Levels Predict Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication. Although lower than normal serum bicarbonate levels are known to be associated with consecutive renal function deterioration in patients with chronic kidney injury, it is not well-known whether preoperative low serum bicarbonate levels are associated with the development of AKI in patients who undergo cardiac surgery.
Reduction in blood transfusion in a cohort of infants having cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass after instituting a goal-directed transfusion policy.
Current trends in pediatric cardiac surgery and anesthesiology include goal-directed allogeneic blood transfusion, but few studies address the transfusion of platelets and cryoprecipitate.
