Use of Volatile Anesthetics During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Systematic Review of Adverse Events
Several databases were searched for pertinent studies to identify all reports on the adverse events of using volatile agents during CPB and all randomized controlled trials using volatile agents during CPB.
Tissue Hemoglobin Monitoring Is Unable to Follow Variations of Arterial Hemoglobin During Transitions From Pulsatile to Constant Flow in Cardiac Surgery
Continuous monitoring of THb cannot accurately track variations of AHb
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Acute Treatment of Cardiovascular Collapse Immediately Post-Partum
We describe the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a 30-year old woman at 37 weeks' gestation
Duration and Magnitude of Blood Pressure below Cerebral Autoregulation Threshold during Cardiopulmonary Bypass is Associated with Major Morbidity and Operative Mortality
Optimizing blood pressure using near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring has been suggested to ensure organ perfusion during cardiac surgery.
Impact of Different Cannulation Strategies on In-Hospital Outcomes of Aortic Arch Surgery: A Propensity-Score Analysis
The impact of different cannulation strategies on outcomes of aortic arch surgery remains controversial.
The Risk of Acute Kidney Injury With Co-Occurrence of Anemia and Hypotension During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Relative to Anemia Alone
In a large cohort of cardiac surgery patients, we did not confirm any association of cardiac surgery-related AKI risk with the co-occurrence of hypotension and anemia during CPB relative to anemia alone.
Survey of the Clinical Assessment and Utility of Near-Infrared Cerebral Oximetry in Cardiac Surgery
Near-infrared cerebral oximetry increasingly is used for monitoring during cardiac surgery.
Outcomes and Biochemical Parameters following Cardiac Surgery: Effects of Transfusion of Residual Blood using Centrifugation and Multiple-Pass Hemoconcentration
To determine whether or not there was a significant difference between the methods of centrifugation (CF) and multiple-pass hemoconcentration (MPH) of the residual cardiopulmonary-bypass volume in relation to biochemical measurements and patient outcomes.
Right Ventricular Perforation during Femoral Venous Cannulation: Lessons Learned
We here present a case where despite use of TOE, placement of the venous cannula led to perforation of the right ventricular apex.
Simplified Clinical Risk Score to Predict Acute Kidney Injury after Aortic Surgery
The model would provide a simplified clinical score stratifying the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing aortic surgery.
