Enhanced External Counterpulsation: A New Technique to Augment Renal Function in Liver Cirrhosis
We investigated whether EECP would improve renal dysfunction of liver cirrhosis.
Activation of Neutrophils and Monocytes by a Leukocyte-Depleting Filter Used Throughout Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We studied the effects of a leukocyte-depleting filter on phagocyte activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.

We studied the effects of a leukocyte-depleting filter on phagocyte activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Surgical Trauma Affects the Proinflammatory Status After Cardiac Surgery to a Higher Degree Than Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To quantify the contribution of bypass-induced versus trauma-induced inflammatory response after coronary artery bypass grafting, we examined plasma cytokine levels in 120 patients with coronary artery disease who were treated with or without cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted procedures.
Activation of Neutrophils and Monocytes by a Leukocyte-Depleting Filter Used Throughout Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We studied the effects of a leukocyte-depleting filter on phagocyte activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Feasibility of Continuous CO2 Removal With Hydrophilic Membranes at Low Blood Flow Rates
It is concluded that CO2 removal from slowly flowing blood with hydrophilic membranes is feasible.
Large Bolus Dose vs. Continuous Infusion of Cisatracurium During Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
We investigated whether a high bolus dose of cisatracurium (8x ED95) given at induction can provide muscle relaxation for the major part of a cardiac procedure with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, avoid important postoperative residual curarization and cause no waste of product.

Rat Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model: Application of a Miniature Extracorporeal Circuit Composed of Asanguinous Prime
A clinically relevant rat cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model would be a valuable tool for investigating pathophysiological and therapeutic strategies on bypass.
Is Platelet Function as Measured by Thrombelastograph Monitoring in Whole Blood Affected by Platelet Inhibitors?
Platelet inhibitors, especially the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the acute ischemic complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in improving clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary crisis.
Temperature Inaccuracies During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the coupled temperature measurement system and the CDI 500 arterial temperature sensor.
