Effects of Cell Salvage on Erythrocyte 2,3-Disphosphoglycerate and G-6-PD Levels and Phosphatidylserine Expression
Compared with venous RBC, washed RBC from intraoperative cell salvage exhibited good oxygen-carrying and antioxidant capacities.
Protamine Overdose and Its Impact on Coagulation, Bleeding, and Transfusions After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Results of a Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Pilot Study
We assessed the effects of protamine overdosing on thrombelastometry, bleeding, and transfusions in patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Crystalloids vs. Colloids: KO at the Twelfth Round?
The safety and efficacy of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) for fluid resuscitation have not been fully evaluated, and adverse effects of HES on survival and renal function have been reported.
The Relationship between Fibrinogen Levels after Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Large Volume Red Cell Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery: An Observational Study
We explored the relationship between post-CPB fibrinogen levels and large volume red cell transfusion.
Effect of Air Exposure and Suction on Blood Cell Activation and Hemolysis in an In Vitro Cardiotomy Suction Model
A study was designed to describe the effects of both suction and an air-blood interface independently and in combination on leukocyte and platelet activation, and hemolysis in an in vitro model.
Cell Salvage of Cardiotomy Suction Blood Improves the Balance between Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines after Cardiac Surgery
Cell salvage reduces the absolute levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in cardiotomy suction blood and improves the balance in the systemic circulation after surgery.
Platelet-Rich Therapy in the Treatment of Patients with Hip Fractures: A Single Centre, Parallel Group, Participant-Blinded, Randomised Controlled Trial
The aim of this study is to quantify and draw inferences on the clinical effectiveness of platelet-rich therapy in the management of patients with a typical osteoporotic fracture of the hip.
Applications and Limits of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Sports Related Injuries
This literature review begin focusing on the role of platelets growth factors in these tissue healing and on the available preparation methods for PRP.
PRP as a New Approach to Prevent Infection: Preparation and In Vitro Antimicrobial Properties of PRP
For our study, we have selected several clinical bacterial strains that are commonly found in orthopaedic infections and examined whether PRP has in vitro antimicrobial properties against these bacteria.
Application of Platelet-Rich Gel to Enhance Healing of Transmetatarsal Amputations in Diabetic Dysvascular Patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility to use platelet gel (PG) as an adjuvant therapy when performing TMA procedure in diabetic patients.
Effectiveness of a Cardiac Surgery-Specific Transfusion Protocol
This study aims to evaluate the effect of this protocol ontransfusion of blood products and the occurrence of clinical events.
Sports Medicine Applications of Platelet Rich Plasma
In this review, a classification for platelet rich plasma is proposed and the in-vitro, preclinical and human investigations of PRP applications in sports medicine will be reviewed as well as a discussion of rehabilitation after a PRP procedure.
