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.
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.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Severe Acute Respiratory Failure in Postpartum Woman With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Disease: Benefit, Factors Furthering the Success of this Procedure, and Review of the Literature
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) early in the event of cardiorespiratory failure after cardiac surgery may be of benefit.
Improved Coagulation and Blood Conservation in the Golden Hours After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The Hemobag (HB) technique allows the open-heart team to safely concentrate the residual cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit contents and return a high volume of concentrated clotting factors and blood cells back to the patient as autotransfusion.
Heparin Monitoring During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery Using the One-Step Point-of-Care Whole Blood Anti-Factor-Xa Clotting Assay Heptest-POC-Hi
The activated clotting time (ACT) generally used for monitoring heparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery does not specifically measure heparin anticoagulant activities. This may result in heparin over- or under-dose and subsequent severe adverse events.
Risk Factors for Red Cell Transfusion in Adults Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Systematic Review
The objective was to identify clinical factors associated with increased red cell transfusion in adults undergoing CABG surgery.
Platelet Gel Device Summary (2007)
A summary of all the platelet gel devices currently available in the United States.
Quality Assessment of Platelet Rich Plasma During Anti-Platelet Therapy
Evidence in this pilot study supports the use of PRP for patients receiving Plavix and aspirin therapy without compromising the quantity of specific growth factors delivered to a wound site.
Changes in Potassium Concentration and Haematocrit Associated With Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Paediatric Cardiac Surgery
In neonatal surgery, the stored blood may be irradiated if there is a question of impaired immunity. Irradiation may cause a further increase in potassium levels.
Platelet-Enriched Fibrin Glue and Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Repair of Bone Defects Adjacent to Titanium Dental Implants
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of platelet-enriched fibrin glue and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the repair of bone defects adjacent to titanium dental implants.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Stimulates Osteoblastic Differentiation in the Presence of BMPs
In the present study, we examined the effects of PRP on proliferation and osteoblast differentiation in vitro in the presence of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). PRP and its soluble fraction stimulated osteoblastic differentiation of myoblasts and osteoblastic cells in the presence of BMP-2, BMP-4, BMP-6 or BMP-7.
