Excessive Bleeding and Transfusion in a Prior Cardiac Surgery is Associated With Excessive Bleeding and Transfusion in the Next Surgery
If there is a genetic predisposition to excessive bleeding, there should be an association in excessive blood loss between multiple cardiac surgeries.
Leucocyte Depletion Improves Renal Function During Reperfusion Using An Experimental Isolated Haemoperfused Organ Preservation System
This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of white cells in early renal reperfusion injury using an isolated haemoperfused porcine kidney model.

Second Generation of Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circuit: Pilot Study Resting Heart System
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC).
A sSngle Nucleotide Polymorphism of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor is Related to Inflammatory Response in Coronary Bypass Surgery Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Here we analyzed genotype distribution and allele frequency of the MIF-173*G/C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and MIF plasma levels in patients undergoing surgical revascularization with (on-pump, n=45) and without (off-pump, n=34) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Second Generation of Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circuit: Pilot Study Resting Heart System
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC).
Use of the CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System 500 for Continuous Blood Gas Measurement During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Simulation
The purpose of this experiment was to compare the Opticath and the CDI 500 in trending venous blood saturation during a simulation of ECMO.
Sensitivity of a Modified ACT Test to Levels of Bivalirudin Used During Cardiac Surgery
After Ethics Committee approval, a pilot study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of using bivalirudin for on-pump cardiac surgery and to evaluate dosing of bivalirudin in terms of the pharmacokinetic and safety profile in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Use of the CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System 500 for Continuous Blood Gas Measurement During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Simulation
The purpose of this experiment was to compare the Opticath and the CDI 500 in trending venous blood saturation during a simulation of ECMO.
2004 Survey of ECMO in the Neonate After Open Heart Surgery: Circuitry and Team Roles
These data suggest that previously published ELSO-centric ECMO studies may significantly underestimate the contemporary application of modern technologies and the involvement of perfusionists.
Distributed Perfusion Educational Model: A Shift in Perfusion Economic Realities
The authors feel the DPEM along with dependence on tuition funding can survive the current clinical and economic conditions and allow the profession to adapt to changes in scope of practice.
