Fluid Overload in Infants Following Congenital Heart Surgery
Early postoperative fluid overload is associated with suboptimal outcomes in infants following cardiac surgery.
Lumped Parameter Model for Heart Failure with Novel Regulating Mechanisms of Peripheral Resistance and Vascular Compliance
To research the change in the physiological mechanism between the heart failure (HF) patient and healthy persons, the physiology parameters, which include the myocardial contractility, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and vascular compliance, were studied
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation–An Anaesthesiologist’s Perspective–Part II: Clinical and Technical Consideration
The clinical considerations and indicators for placing the patient on ECMO, the various circuit configurations, clinical and technical issues, and management aspects are considered in this article.
Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation when Conventional Ventilation Fails: Valuable Option or Vague Remedy?
In this article, we reviewed the usefulness of ECMO in patients with severe ARDS in the light of current evidence.
Numerical Analysis of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts: An Overview
This paper gives a review of recent numerical investigations of various configurations of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG). In addition, the paper ends with a summary of the findings and the future directions.
Impact of Nurse-Initiated Preoperative Education on Postoperative Anxiety Symptoms and Complications after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Nurse-initiated preoperational education and counseling were associated with a reduced rate of perioperative complications and a reduced level of anxiety following CABG.
Meta-Analysis of the Studies of Bleeding Complications of Platelets Pathogen-Reduced with the Intercept System
Treatment with Intercept may increase the risk of all and clinically significant (albeit not severe) bleeding complications in RCTs maintaining a platelet count of ≥10×10(9) or ≥20×10(9)/l through increased platelet transfusions.
Pressure Applied during Surgery Alters the Biomechanical Properties of Human Saphenous Vein Graft
The mechanical results suggest that distending pressures above 75 mmHg might play a role in graft failure.
The Effects of Zero-Balance Ultrafiltration on Postoperative Recovery after Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
The benefits of Z-BUF were not apparent, according to the report.
Fluid Overload and Changes in Serum Creatinine after Cardiac Surgery: Predictors of Mortality and Longer Intensive Care Stay. A Prospective Cohort Study
The aim of this study was to evaluate fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine as predictors of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery.
Factors Associated with Prolonged Recovery after the Arterial Switch Operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries in Infants
This study aimed specifically to identify the predictors of prolonged recovery after the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries in infants.
How we Provide Transfusion Support for Neonatal and Pediatric Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
In this article, we describe our protocol for transfusion support for ECMO and potential ECMO patients.
