Intra and Extravascular Volume Status in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement: Crystalloid vs. Colloid Priming of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this prospective double-blind study was to evaluate the influence of different priming solutions of the extracorporeal circuit on intra- and extravascular volume status and haemodynamics in patients undergoing elective mitral valve replacement.
A New practical Technique to Reduce Allogeneic Blood Exposure and Hospital Costs While Preserving Clotting Factors After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: the Hemobag
The Hemobag allows the open-heart team to concentrate residual CPB circuit contents and return a high volume of autologous clotting factors and blood cells to the patient.
Pulse Contour Analysis After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study was therefore to compare the COPiCCOpulse after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a simultaneous measurement of the COPACtherm.
Pulse Contour Analysis After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study was therefore to compare the COPiCCOpulse after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a simultaneous measurement of the COPACtherm.
No Decrease in Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of the present study was to review the incidence of AF in patients undergoing off-pump CABG at Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Leukocyte Depleting Filter Attenuates Myocardial Injury During Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The aim of the present study was to evaluate in a prospective, randomized study, the value of leukocyte depleting filter in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery.
The Effect of Temperature and Aprotinin During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Three Different Methods of Activated Clotting Time Measurement
. It appears that the MAX-ACT produces lower values and may necessitate additional heparin therapy for ACT target values considered safe during CPB.
Leukocyte Depleting Filter Attenuates Myocardial Injury During Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The aim of the present study was to evaluate in a prospective, randomized study, the value of leukocyte depleting filter in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery.
Comparison of Pulmonary Gas Exchange in OPCAB Versus Conventional CABG
The aim of this study was to ascertain the possible benefit of OPCAB surgery on pulmonary gas exchange.
The Coronary Baroreflex in Humans
We set up a study to explore the presence of coronary baroreceptors in humans, which was performed with isolated, graded aortic root perfusion in patients during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Pulse Contour Analysis After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study was therefore to compare the COPiCCOpulse after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a simultaneous measurement of the COPACtherm.
Intensive Insulin Therapy Does Not Alter the Inflammatory Response in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial
. In a randomized controlled trial we studied the effect of strict glycemic control on the local and systemic pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory balance in non-diabetic patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass.
