Bloodless Open Heart Surgery: Simple and Safe
In this study we sought to evaluate the results of our blood conservation policy.
Use of a Dynamic Bubble Trap in the Arterial Line Reduces Microbubbles During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Microembolic Signals in the Middle Cerebral Artery
This study demonstrates that the insertion of a dynamic bubble trap (DBT) into the curcuit reduces microbubbles in the arterial line and microembolic signals (MES) in the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs).

Monitoring Activated Clotting Time for Combined Heparin and Aprotinin Application: An In Vitro Evaluation of a New Aprotinin-Insensitive Test Using SONOCLOT
new so-called 'aprotinin-insensitive' ACT test (SaiACT) has been developed for the SONOCLOT analyzer. In this study we evaluated and compared this new test for the SONOCLOT analyzer in vitro with an established kaolin-based ACT from HEMOCHRON (HkACT).

Cardiac Dimensions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Our aim was to analyze left ventricular fractional shortening during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation under the influence of changing volume loading conditions induced by a ductal left-to-right shunt.
Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant Defense During On-Pump and Off-Pump Cardiac Surgery
We obtained indirect measures of the oxidative damage occurring during cardiac surgery by monitoring the glutathione system and we studied the influence of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Knowledge of current data and trends is the key to providing the highest quality of patient care.
Favourable Clinical Outcome in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Due to Fulminant Myocarditis Supported by Percutaneous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We studied the survival and clinical courses of patients with fulminant myocarditis supported by percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compared them with those of patients with acute non-fulminant myocarditis.
The Significance of Baseline Cerebral Oxygen Saturation in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery
We hypothesized that some children with congenital heart disease have an abnormally low baseline (preoperative) cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO(2)).
