SMART Tubing Presents an Increased Risk of Disconnection During Extracorporeal Circulation
In this study, we examined the in vitro mechanical ability of random samples (n = 10) of SMART and standard PVC tubing to withstand axial tension when the tubing was placed over a single barb of a connector.
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).
The Future of the Perfusion Record: Automated Data Collection vs. Manual Recording
This study highlights the limitation of spot recording of perfusion events in the overall record keeping for perfusion management.

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).

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC).
Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion Reduces Apoptotic Neuronal Injury in a Neonatal Piglet Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We sought to evaluate and compare the extent of neurologic injury in a neonatal piglet model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion.
Impact of Avoiding Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Surgery on Perioperative Cardiac Enzyme Release and Survival
This study examines the association between avoiding the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for coronary surgery and postoperative cardiac enzyme (CE) release, and its subsequent impact on survival.
Lower Limits of Hematocrit and Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation Ensuring Sufficient Cerebral Oxygenation During Hemodilution in Rabbits
This study was performed to identify critical values for these variables that would be able to ensure sufficient jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjO2), which reflects global cerebral oxygenation.
