Emergency Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Acute Coronary Syndrome: Mid-Term Follow-Up Results
We summarized the experience with emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) for management of acute coronary syndrome and analyze the mid-term follow-up results.
The Second Austrian Benchmark Study for Blood Use in Elective Surgery: Results and Practice Change
Five years after the first Austrian benchmark study demonstrated relatively high transfusion rate and an abundance of nonindicated transfusions in elective surgeries, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of the first benchmark study.
Practice Changes in Blood Glucose Management Following Open Heart Surgery: From a Prospective Randomized Study to Everyday Practice
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact that this change to a more liberal BG management (BGM) had on patient outcomes at our centre.
Clinical Experience with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in the Management of Intracardiac and Arterial Thrombosis in Children
We aimed to present our experiences with recombinant t-PA (rt-PA) in children with intracardiac or peripheral arterial thrombus. We retrospectively reviewed the children who received rt-PA for thrombus.
Effect of Slow versus Rapid Rewarming on Jugular Bulb Oxygen Saturation in Adult Patients undergoing Open Heart Surgery
This study was designed to compare the effect of slow versus rapid rewarming on jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjO2) in adult patients undergoing open heart surgery.
Red Blood Cell Storage Duration is Associated with Various Clinical Outcomes in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
The obtained results indicate that the hazard of blood transfusion increased with increasing storage time of RBCs
