Reliability of Different Body Temperature Measurement Sites during Aortic Surgery
We conclude that tympanic temperature measurements correlate with arterial blood temperature monitoring during aortic surgery with HCA and ACP and, therefore, should replace bladder and rectal measurements.
Impact of an Open-Chest Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Model for in situ Simulated Team Training: A Pilot Study
To develop an affordable realistic open-chest extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) model for embedded in situ interprofessional crisis resource management training in emergency management of a post-cardiac surgery child.
Volatile Anesthetic-Induced Preconditioning
The myocardium has an innate ability to protect itself from ischemic events.
Assessment of Team Training in Management of Adverse Acute Events Occurring during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedure: A Pilot Study based on an Animal Simulation Model (Fouilloux, Team Training in Cardiac Surgery)
The objective of this pilot study was to assess our method of training and learning in an attempt to optimize and improve team management and functioning.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Acute Treatment of Cardiovascular Collapse Immediately Post-Partum
We describe the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a 30-year old woman at 37 weeks' gestation
Tissue Hemoglobin Monitoring Is Unable to Follow Variations of Arterial Hemoglobin During Transitions From Pulsatile to Constant Flow in Cardiac Surgery
Continuous monitoring of THb cannot accurately track variations of AHb
Use of Volatile Anesthetics During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Systematic Review of Adverse Events
Several databases were searched for pertinent studies to identify all reports on the adverse events of using volatile agents during CPB and all randomized controlled trials using volatile agents during CPB.
Ability of the Third-Generation FloTrac/Vigileo Software to Track Changes in Cardiac Output in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Polar Plot Approach
Third-generation FloTrac/Vigileo software still lacks the accuracy to reliably detect changes in cardiac output (∆CO) in cardiac surgery.
Outcomes and Biochemical Parameters following Cardiac Surgery: Effects of Transfusion of Residual Blood using Centrifugation and Multiple-Pass Hemoconcentration
To determine whether or not there was a significant difference between the methods of centrifugation (CF) and multiple-pass hemoconcentration (MPH) of the residual cardiopulmonary-bypass volume in relation to biochemical measurements and patient outcomes.
Impact of Different Cannulation Strategies on In-Hospital Outcomes of Aortic Arch Surgery: A Propensity-Score Analysis
The impact of different cannulation strategies on outcomes of aortic arch surgery remains controversial.
The Risk of Acute Kidney Injury With Co-Occurrence of Anemia and Hypotension During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Relative to Anemia Alone
In a large cohort of cardiac surgery patients, we did not confirm any association of cardiac surgery-related AKI risk with the co-occurrence of hypotension and anemia during CPB relative to anemia alone.
Skin Temperature over the Carotid Artery Provides an Accurate Noninvasive Estimation of Core Temperature in Infants and Young Children during General Anesthesia
The accurate measurement of core temperature is an essential aspect of intraoperative management in children.
