Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Left Ventricular Assist Device Bridge-to-Transplant Patients
We compared outcomes of HIT-positive versus control bridge-to-transplantation VAD patients; both groups were reexposed to heparin for cardiopulmonary bypass during transplant.
Platelet Dysfunction After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Children: Effect of High-Dose Aprotinin
Here we investigated the effect of aprotinin on platelet function during normothermic CPB in pediatric patients.
Distraction Osteogenesis of the Lower Extremity in Patients With Achondroplasia/Hypochondroplasia Treated With Transplantation of Culture-Expanded Bone Marrow Cells and Platelet-Rich Plasma
To assess the efficacy of this cell therapy, retrospective comparative study was conducted between the bones treated with BMC and PRP and the bones treated without BMC and PRP during DO in patients with achondroplasia (ACH) and hypochondroplasia (HCH).
pH-Stat Blood Gas Management Provides Better Cerebral Perfusion During Deep Hypothermic Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion
We performed a retrospective comparative clinical study to evaluate whether pH-stat () or alpha-stat strategy () provides better perfusion or oxygen metabolism during hypothermic retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP).
Effects of pH Management During Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion on Cerebral Microcirculation and Metabolism: Alpha-Stat Versus pH-Stat
We sought to determine the direct effects of pH management on cerebral microcirculation and metabolism during SCP.
Inhibition of Alveolar Oteitis in Mndibular Toth Etraction Stes Uing Patelet-Rch Plasma
This paper is a retrospective review of the benefits of PRP in AO prevention.
Autotransfusion Management During and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alters Fibrin Degradation and Transfusion Requirements
This study was designed to explore the influence of autotransfusion management on intravascular fibrin degradation and postoperative transfusions
Inhibition of Alveolar Osteitis in Mandibular Tooth Extraction Sites Using Platelet-Rich Plasma
This paper is a retrospective review of the benefits of PRP in AO prevention. PRP was obtained from patients for use in the postremoval alveolar sockets of mandibular molar extraction sites.
Kaolin-Based Activated Coagulation Time Measured by Sonoclot in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The aim of this study was to compare SkACT with an established kaolin-based ACT from Hemochron (HkACT) and anti-Xa activity in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Differential Expression in Markers for Thrombin, Platelet Activation, and Inflammation in Cell Saver Versus Systemic Blood in Patients Undergoing On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Elimination of cardiotomy suction increases reliance on cell-saver blood-conservation techniques.
Intraoperative Assessment and Quantification of Coronary Artery Graft Patency Performed on or off Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare on-pump and off-pump intraoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) flow parameters.
Differential Expression in Markers for Thrombin, Platelet Activation, and Inflammation in Cell Saver Versus Systemic Blood in Patients Undergoing On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Elimination of cardiotomy suction increases reliance on cell-saver blood-conservation techniques.
