Possible Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) in Cardiac Surgery Patients
This study was tp determine the incidence of possible transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and related risk factors in cardiac surgery patients.
Plasma Fibrinogen Concentration is Correlated with Postoperative Blood Loss in Children undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Review
Post-CPB plasma fibrinogen concentration significantly influences blood loss in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
Serological Investigation of Patients with a Previous History of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia who are Re-exposed to Heparin
We conclude that among patients with a previous history of HIT who are reexposed to intraoperative (but not postoperative) heparin, the risk of recurrent HIT appears to be low, but is possible if antibodies with strong heparin-independent platelet-activating properties are formed.
Incidence and Outcomes of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery in North America: An Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample
The objective of this study was to quantify the impact of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) on outcomes after cardiac surgery.
A Novel Method for the Management of Patients with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopaenia During Cardiac Surgery
We report a novel method that allows heparin use in patients diagnosed with HIT using Multiplate platelet analyser and iloprost.
A Single Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection for Chronic Midsubstance Achilles Tendinopathy: A Retrospective Preliminary Analysis
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a series of patients undergoing a single platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for the treatment of chronic midsubstance Achilles tendinopathy, in whom conservative treatment had failed.
Platelet and Growth Factor Concentrations in Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Comparison of Seven Commercial Separation Systems
This study characterized the composition of PRP produced by seven commercially available separation systems (JP200, GLO PRP, Magellan Autologous Platelet Separator System, KYOCERA Medical PRP Kit, SELPHYL, MyCells, and Dr. Shin's System THROMBO KIT) to evaluate the platelet, white blood cell, red blood cell, and growth factor concentrations, as well as platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentrations.
Preventing Deep Wound Infection after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Review
The consequences of deep wound infections before, during, and after coronary artery bypass grafting have prompted research to clarify risk factors and explore preventive measures to keep infection rates at an irreducible minimum.
Characterization and Comparison of 5 Platelet-Rich Plasma Preparations in a Single-Donor Model
The purpose of this study was to compare the biological characteristics of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from 4 medical devices and a preparation developed in our laboratory using a single-donor model.
Racial Disparities in the use of Blood Transfusion in Major Surgery
Reporting racial disparities in contemporary transfusion practices may help reduce potentially unnecessary blood transfusions in minority patients.
