Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass Adaptations for Long-Term Survival of Baboons Undergoing Pulmonary Artery Replacement
In the evaluation of pulmonary artery tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs), pediatric CPB methods are adapted to accommodate the animals’ unique physiology enabling survival up to 6 months until elective sacrifice.
Improving Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Does Continuous Blood Gas Monitoring Have a Role to Play?
The CDI ™ 500 (Terumo Cardiovascular Systems, Ann Arbor, MI) is an in-line blood gas monitoring device that has been used in clinical practice for over a decade. Few randomized studies have evaluated the value of this device with respect to improved perfusion management.
Monitoring Microemboli During Cardiopulmonary Bypass with the EDAC® Quantifier
The purpose of this preliminary study is to assess the incidence of GME during bypass surgery and determine if increased GME counts were associated with specific events during bypass surgery.

Amandeep Sidhu discusses a case report on an ECMO patient with Dandy Walker Syndrome (15:58 minutes).
Is the Air Handling Capability of the Quadrox D Pump Dependent within an ECMO Circuit? An In Vitro Study
We aimed to determine if the air handling capability of the Quadrox D oxygenator was dependent upon whether it was used in conjunction with a centrifugal or roller pump; and if application of a Pall air eliminating filter (AEF) would prevent circuit air introduction from intravenous infusions.
