Continued Mechanical Ventilation during Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation Attenuates the Systemic Immune Response
These data suggest that continued mechanical ventilation during CABG attenuates inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses after CPB.
The Incidence of Vasoplegia in Adult Patients with Right-Sided Congenital Heart Defects Undergoing Cardiac Surgery and the Correlation with Serum Vasopressin Concentrations
