Methylprednisolone Prevents Inflammatory Reaction Occurring During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Effects on TNF-, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10
Objective: This study examined the correlation between tumour necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, IL-10 and methylprednisolone pretreatment. Methods: This is […]
Capillary Leakage in Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass causes a systemic inflammatory response, which can lead to capillary leak syndrome. In 15 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery […]
Blood-Air Interface during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the systemic blood activation with open and closed perfusion management during cardiopulmonary bypass. […]

Temperature Monitoring During Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Do We Undercool or Overheat the Brain?
Objective: Brain cooling is an essential component of aortic surgery requiring circulatory arrest and inadequate cooling may lead to brain injury. Similarly, […]
Differential Brain and Body Temperature During Cardiopulmonary Bypass-A Randomised Clinical Study
Objective: Maintenance of normothermia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may have advantages over hypothermia but there is a potential increased hazard of neurological […]
