Effect of Combined Anticoagulation Using Heparin and Bivalirudin on the Hemostatic and Inflammatory Responses to Cardiopulmonary Bypass in the Rat
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a reduced dose of bivalirudin, added as an adjunct to heparin, would reduce thrombin generation and circulating markers of inflammatory system activation during CPB as effectively as full-dose bivalirudin, without adversely affecting postoperative hemostasis.
The Effects of Various Leukocyte Filtration Strategies in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to systematically review the available evidence on leukocyte filtration in cardiac surgery, focusing on its effect on systemic inflammation and whether this has influenced clinical outcomes.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients with Preoperative Non-Dialysis Dependent Renal Insufficiency: A Randomized Study
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has been shown to be less deleterious than on-pump bypass in patients with normal renal function, but the effect of this technique in patients with non-dialysis dependent renal insufficiency in a randomized study is unknown.
Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the Reconstruction of Mandibular Bony Defects: Clinical and Radiographic Follow-up
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of adding platelet rich plasma (PRP) to a particulate autogenous bone graft in the healing of bony defects following ablative surgery to resect malignancies of the mandible.
Influence of the Application of Platelet-Enriched Plasma in Oral Mucosal Wound Healing
The aim of this study was to describe and quantify the therapeutic value of platelet concentrate on the capillary density in oral mucosal wound healing.
Simultaneous Concentration of Platelets and Marrow Cells: A Simple and Useful Technique to Obtain Source Cells and Growth Factors for Regenerative Medicine
This simultaneous concentration of platelets and bone marrow cells has great potential as a source of materials for regenerative medicine.
Platelet-Pich Plasma Treatment and Hemostasis in Patients With Hemorrhagic Risk
Our research aimed to evaluate the risk of haemorrhage following oral surgical operations, in patients who were undergoing an anticoagulant therapy, and to test the usefulness of the autologous platelet gel in order to control haemostasis.
Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma and Fibrin Sealant on Facial Nerve Regeneration in a Rat Model
To investigate the effects of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin sealant (FS) on facial nerve regeneration.
2006 Perfusion Medication Administration Survey Results
The purpose of this informal and non-scientific medication survey was to ascertain which medications are administered by perfusionists into the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, so a standard of practice can eventually be defined on this subject.
Effects of Centrifugal and Roller Pumps on Survival of autologous Red Cells in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
In this study, we assessed the effect of these two pumps on the 24-h post-transfusion survival values of autologous red blood cells (RBC).
Replacing Cardiopulmonary Bypass With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Lung Transplantation Operations
We report our experiences of replacing CPB with heparin-bonded low-dose heparin extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in LTX surgery.
Leukocyte Effects of C5a-Receptor Blockade During Simulated Extracorporeal Circulation
We hypothesized that a human C5a receptor antagonist would specifically inhibit the inflammatory response of neutrophils to simulated extracorporeal circulation, while preserving the C5b-9 pathway for innate immunity.
