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.
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.
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.
New Technology Feature: The LIFEBRIDGE B2T® Compact Heart-Lung System
The LIFEBRIDGE B2T® ("Bridge to Therapy") is a miniaturized and compact heart-lung support system.
Feasibility and Safety of Delivering Xenon to Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery While on Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Phase I Study
Background: Postoperative neurocognitive deficit is prevalent after cardiac surgery. Xenon may prevent or ameliorate acute neuronal injury, but it also may aggravate injury […]
Effects of Atorvastatin on Systemic Inflammatory Response After Coronary Bypass Surgery
Therefore, we investigated the effects of preoperative atorvastatin treatment on systemic inflammatory response and perioperative morbidity after cardiopulmonary bypass.
