Homemade Salvage Setup for a Catastrophic Heater/Cooler Failure on Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Perfusion-related problems are still reported at incidence, varying from .72 to 2.86%, and add to the morbidity and mortality of cardiac surgery.
Warming and Cooling Device Using Thermoelectric Peltier Elements Tested on Male Mice
Hypothermia is a treatment strategy for different clinical conditions and an essential part of cardiopulmonary bypass in complex cardiac procedures.
Bispectral Index for Improving Intraoperative Awareness and Early Postoperative Recovery in Adults
To assess the effectiveness of BIS to reduce the risk of intraoperative awareness and early recovery times from general anaesthesia in adults undergoing surgery.
Cartridge-Based Thromboelastography Can Be Used to Monitor and Quantify the Activity of Unfractionated and Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins
Thromboelastography is increasingly utilized in the management of bleeding and thrombotic complications where heparin management remains a cornerstone.
Effect of Cardiac Arrest With Aortic Cross-clamping During Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Some patients who undergo continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implantation require concomitant procedures that can be performed with or without cardiac arrest under aortic cross-clamping (AXC).
Haemadsorption Improves Intraoperative Haemodynamics and Metabolic Changes During Aortic Surgery with Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
Aortic surgery involving hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) results in a systemic inflammatory response that may negatively influence outcome.
High-efficiency, High-flux In-line Hemofiltration Using a High Blood Flow Extracorporeal Circuit
The ability of current renal replacement therapy modalities to achieve rapid solute removal is limited by membrane surface area and blood flow rate.
Comparison of Two Cardiopulmonary Bypass Strategies With a Miniaturized Tubing System: a Propensity Score–based Analysis
The existing cardiopulmonary bypass tubing system has already been significantly improved in our hospital by reducing the priming volume; thus, we further employed a new cardiopulmonary bypass strategy in children based on a miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.
Perfusion Management of Aortic Balloon Occlusion Technique in Total Arch Replacement With Frozen Elephant Trunk
To ensure both cerebral and lower body perfusion during total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk, aortic balloon occlusion technique has been applied in some cases at our institute.
Accumulations of von Willebrand Factor Within ECMO Oxygenators: Potential Indicator of Coagulation Abnormalities in Critically Ill Patients?
Clot formation within membrane oxygenators (MOs) remains a critical problem during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Is Blood a Necessary Component of the Perfusate During Isolated Limb Perfusion – a Randomized Controlled Trial
Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) is a treatment option for malignancies localized to an extremity and is performed by surgical isolation of the limb which is connected to an extracorporeal circulation system.
Heparin-Free Extracorporeal Life Support Using Tethered Liquid Perfluorocarbon: A Feasibility and Efficacy Study
Coagulation management is the leading challenge during extracorporeal life support (ECLS) due to shear stress and foreign-surface–induced coagulation disturbance during circulation.
