Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation Informs Health Care Professionals Of Important Safety Revisions To The Trasylol Label
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation, in collaboration with the FDA, is informing health care professionals of important safety revisions to the U.S. product information for Trasylol(R) (aprotinin injection) following an FDA Advisory Committee meeting earlier this year.
Experimental Study of Platelet-Rich Plasma Optimizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells Culture
To explore a new method for in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) by using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in place of fetal calf serum (FCS).
Ultrafiltration Attenuates Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Induced Acute Lung Injury in a Canine Model of Single-Lung Transplantation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and ultrafiltration on graft function in a canine single-lung transplantation model.
Correlation Between Cerebral and Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation During Moderate Versus Tepid Hypothermic Hemodiluted Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study was undertaken to compare cerebral oxygen saturation (RsO(2)) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO(2)) in patients undergoing moderate and tepid hypothermic hemodiluted cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Moderately Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Low-Flow Antegrade Selective Cerebral Perfusion for Neonatal Aortic Arch Surgery
Although deep hypothermic circulatory arrest has been extensively used in neonates for aortic arch surgery, the brain and other organs might be adversely affected by prolonged ischemia and deep hypothermia.
A New Treatment Option for Pulmonary Valvular Insufficiency: First Experiences With Implantation of a Self-Expanding Stented Valve Without Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We describe a novel technique with a transventricular implantation of a stented bio-prosthesis without cardiopulmonary bypass that allows for implantation of prosthesis with diameters greater than 22mm.
Modified CPB Circuit for Postoperative Rescue of High-Risk Patients Following Cardiac Repair: Are We Keeping Safe?
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly used to treat postcardiotomy cardiopulmonary dysfunction in small children.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery is Standard of Care: Where Do You Stand?
several large, nonrandomized retrospective case series. The studies demonstrated that CABG can be performed safely without CPB (off-pump surgery), and suggested that there are benefits compared with conventional CABG. However, the randomized controlled studies published to date have been, as a whole, unable to conclusively demonstrate advantages of off-pump CABG.
Australian and New Zealand Perfusion Survey: Equipment and Monitoring
Our aims were to report current practice in 2003 and to compare and contrast current practice with historic practice.
Normoxia vs. Hyperoxia: Impact of Oxygen Tension Strategies on Outcomes for Patients Receiving Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Routine Cardiac Surgical Repair
The objective of this study was to determine if a hyperoxic strategy can lead to equally beneficial outcomes for short-term support as measured by total ventilator time and total length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patient at a private institution.
Temperature During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Discrepancies Between Monitored Sites
We performed studies in patients to determine whether temperature recordings from sites commonly monitored during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass adequately reflect cerebral temperature.
Quantification of Perfusion Modes in Terms of Surplus Hemodynamic Energy Levels in a Simulated Pediatric CPB Model
The objective of this investigation was to compare pulsatile versus nonpulsatile perfusion modes in terms of surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model.
