Cell Salvage Does Not Minimize Perioperative Allogeneic Blood Transfusion in Abdominal Vascular Surgery: A Systematic Review
There is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine use of cell salvage in elective abdominal aortic aneurysm and aorto-femoral bypass surgeries.
The Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Intrabony Periodontal Defects
The results from this study indicate that PRP will statistically improve the amount of osseous fill and demonstrate enhanced soft tissue healing.
Atrial Fibrillation After Surgical Correction of Mitral Regurgitation in Sinus Rhythm
Postoperative AF is common after surgical correction of MR in patients with no prior history of AF and is associated with increased subsequent morbidity.
Induction and Detection of Disturbed Homeostasis in Cardiopulmonary Bypass
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) haemodynamic alterations, haemostasis and the inflammatory response are the main causes of homeostatic disruption.
Argatroban as an Alternative to Heparin in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuits

Effect of Lidocaine on Ischaemic Preconditioning in Isolated Rat Heart
Lidocaine blocks the cardioprotection induced by ischaemic preconditioning only at supratherapeutic concentrations.
Contamination of Anaesthetic Gases With Nitric Oxide and its Influence on Oxygenation: Study in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery
Compressed air and nitrous oxide contain very low concentrations of nitric oxide (<10 ppb). This can affect pulmonary oxygen transfer during anaesthesia.
