Effects of Surface-Bound and Intravenously Administered Heparin on Cell-Surface Interactions: Inflammation and Coagulation
The work described here utilized human blood in a micro-perfusion circuit to experimentally examine the effects of intravenous and surface-bound heparin on cellular activation.
Evaluation of Coagulation Factors and Platelet Function from an Off-Line Modified Ultrafiltration Technique for Post-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit Blood Recovery
This study evaluated the off-line MUF process of the Hemobag (HB, Global Blood Resources, Somers, CT, USA) to quantitate coagulation factor levels
A Clinical Evaluation of the Maquet Quadrox-i Neonatal Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter
During this evaluation, the Maquet Quadrox-i Neonatal oxygenator adequately performed within its operational flow in the clinical setting.
Rotation Thromboelastography for the Detection and Characterization of Lipoteichoid Acid-Induced Activation of Haemostasis in an In Vitro Sepsis Model
Here, we demonstrate the effects of LTA on haemostasis in an in vitro model of gram-positive sepsis based on rotation thromboelastrography (ROTEM).
Impact of the Intensity of Microemboli on Neurocognitive Outcome Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study aimed to determine whether there was any association between the intensity of intraoperative gaseous microembolic signals (GME), neuropsychological testing and clinical outcome in high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery surgery (CABG).
Successful Management of Bleeding Complications in Patients Supported with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation with Primary Respiratory Failure
ECMO bleeding complications can be managed successfully via surgical and endoscopic approaches in this high-risk population.
Fiber-Optic Intra-Aortic Balloon Therapy and its Role within Cardiac Surgery
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) technology offers these patients and the cardiac team an easily accessible, cost-effective, mechanical assist device.
IABP before Cardiac Surgery: Clinical Benefit Compared to Intraoperative Implantation
the results of this study indicate a more liberal indication for IABP in high-risk patients before coronary bypass surgery.
Pharmacological Risk Factors for Delirium after Cardiac Surgery: A Review
These studies have shown that drugs taken perioperatively by cardiac surgery patients need to be considered in delirium risk management strategies.
Assessment of Modified Ultrafiltration Hemodynamic Impact by Pressure Recording Analytical Method During Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
According to Pressure Recording Analytical Method assessment, modified ultrafiltration acutely improves myocardial function, as shown by a 10% increase of systemic arterial pressure, stroke volume index, and cardiac index.
Myocardial Revascularisation in Renal Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Compared to percutaneous intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with higher early/30-day mortality in patients with renal dysfunction or end-stage renal disease.
Microplegia during Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting was Associated with Less Low Cardiac Output Syndrome: A Propensity-Matched Comparison
Compared with 8:1 blood cardioplegia, microplegia during isolated CABG surgery was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome.
