Venous or Arterial Samples for Activated Clotting Time Measurements: A Systematic Review
Sampling source should be kept consistent to facilitate effective haemostatic strategies. More research is needed regarding variability in vascular surgery and novel clot assessment techniques.
Early Use of Hemoadsorption in Patients after Out-Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest – A Matched Pair Analysis
Routine use of hemoadsorption did not reduce, but seems to be associated with higher 30-day mortality in patients after OHCA.
Hemolysis and Plasma Free Hemoglobin During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: From Clinical Implications to Laboratory Details
Here, we propose a review dedicated to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-associated hemolysis, with a particular emphasis on pathophysiology, prevalence, and clinical consequences of such complication.
Heparin Concentration in Cell Salvage During Heparinization: A Pilot Study
Salvaged blood during cardiovascular surgery intervention does not contain enough heparin to influence activated clotting time.
Current Impact of Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in São Paulo State
Currently in the REPLICCAR, reoperation for bleeding was the only outcome associated with the use of CPB in CABG.
Cytosorb® Hemoadsorption of Apixaban During Emergent Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass: A Case Report
Insertion of a CytoSorb® cartridge in the CPB was safe and associated with rapid correction of Apixaban-associated anticoagulation.
Comparison of Atrio-Femoral and Femoro-Atrial Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Adult.
Atrio-femoral configuration in VV ECMO was associated with a higher maximum achieved ECMO flow, less fluid gain in first 3 days of ECMO and more successful awake ECMO.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Video Is an Effective Learning Tool
This educational video may benefit other learners who are entering the cardiopulmonary bypass operating room for the first time.
Viscoelastic Testing in Pediatric Patients
This manuscript is intended to give a structured overview of what has been published on the use of viscoelastic testing to guide bleeding management in neonates and children.
When Culture Dictates Practice: Adoption of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Here, we seek to describe reasons underlying the variation in uptake of minimally invasive techniques in mitral valve surgery and describe opportunities to increase the adoption by surgeons and programs.
Air, Inflammation and Biocompatibility of The Extracorporeal Circuits
One of the techniques used to reduce the contact of blood with “nonself” surfaces is the “coating” of the internal surfaces of the ECC.
Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Complicated by COVID-19 Infection
This report shows the feasibility for surgical treatment of acute aortic disease in patients with COVID-19.
