Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate for the Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A Systematic Review of Outcomes
The goal of this perform a systematic review on the outcomes of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) for the treatment of chondral defects and osteoarthritis (OA) of the talus.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in Post-Traumatic Cardiopulmonary Failure: A 10-Year Single Institutional Experience
Patients with multiple traumas associated with cardiopulmonary failure have a high mortality rate; however, such patients can be temporarily stabilized using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), providing a bridge to rescue therapy.
The Basic Science of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in Chondral Injuries
There has been great interest in bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) as a cost effective method in delivering mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to aid in the repair and regeneration of cartilage defects.
Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Cannulation Techniques
The development of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology allows a new approach for the intensive care management of acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure in adult patients who are not responsive to conventional treatment.
Coronary Artery Spasm Following On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with 20 Months Follow-Up
The gold standard for revealing coronary artery spasm (CAS) is emergency coronary angiography (CAG) . Infusion of vasodilators combined with IABP is adequate in most instances, but extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been necessary for more extensive or resistant coronary spasm.
Interhospital Transport System for Critically Ill Patients: Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation without a Ventilator
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been successfully used as a method for the interhospital transportation of critically ill patients. In South Korea, a well-established ECMO interhospital transport system is lacking due to limited resources. We developed a simplified ECMO transport system without mechanical ventilation for use by public emergency medical services.
Quantification of Operational Learning in Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation.
Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has initiated important new efforts within science and technology towards a more physiologic perfusion.
The Emergent Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator in a Child with Sickle Cell Disease
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) in patients suffering from sickle cell disease (SCD) needs specific precautions.
Perioperative Management of Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery
The aim of this study was to describe our institutional experience, primarily with general anesthesiologists consulting with cardiac anesthesiologists, caring for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Point of Care and Factor Concentrate-Based Coagulation Algorithms
The use of point of care (POC) devices integrated in algorithms is one of the important mechanisms to limit blood product exposure.
Pulmonary and Systemic Vascular Resistances After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Role of Hemolysis
Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hemolysis, resulting in increased plasma oxyhemoglobin and vascular nitric oxide depletion.
