A Multicenter Pilot Study Assessing Regional Cerebral Oxygen Desaturation Frequency During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Responsiveness to an Intervention Algorithm
The purpose of this multicenter pilot study was to: (1) determine the frequency of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) desaturations during cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); (2) evaluate the accuracy of clinician-identified rScO2 desaturations compared with those recorded continuously during surgery by the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitor; and (3) assess the effectiveness of an intervention algorithm for reversing rScO2 desaturations.

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.
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.
VAVD vacuum may cause bubble transgression in membrane oxygenators
Vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) is widely used to enhance venous blood return from patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest in total arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection: clinical safety and efficacy
Continued debates exist regarding the optimal temperature during hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) in aortic arch repair for patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD).
Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) & Heater-Coolers (EP Video)
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), including Mycobacterium chimaera, aerosolized from heater-coolers has been shown responsible for infections in cardiac surgery patients (44:19 minutes).
The response of the microcirculation to cardiac surgery
Cardiac surgery is associated with a wide range of microvascular derangements and with reduced tissue oxygenation.

No Association Between Donor Age and Recipient Outcomes: Transfusion of Plasma in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
Associations between age of blood product donors and corresponding outcomes in recipients have not been studied in humans. Therefore, our primary objective was to examine this relationship between donor age and recipient outcomes among patients that received plasma during and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
