Identifying Neonatal and Pediatric Cardiac and Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients at Increased Mortality Risk
A previous review from our institution established clinically measured cut-points that defined the late implementation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) correlating to increased mortality in neonatal and pediatric respiratory patients.
Monitoring Microemboli During Cardiopulmonary Bypass with the EDAC® Quantifier
The purpose of this preliminary study is to assess the incidence of GME during bypass surgery and determine if increased GME counts were associated with specific events during bypass surgery.
Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass Adaptations for Long-Term Survival of Baboons Undergoing Pulmonary Artery Replacement
In the evaluation of pulmonary artery tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs), pediatric CPB methods are adapted to accommodate the animals’ unique physiology enabling survival up to 6 months until elective sacrifice.
Blood Temperature Management and Gaseous Microemboli
This study examines the air-handling capabilities of a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and correlates blood temperatures with microemboli loads proximal and distal to the arterial line filter within the circuit.
Improving Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Does Continuous Blood Gas Monitoring Have a Role to Play?
The CDI ™ 500 (Terumo Cardiovascular Systems, Ann Arbor, MI) is an in-line blood gas monitoring device that has been used in clinical practice for over a decade. Few randomized studies have evaluated the value of this device with respect to improved perfusion management.
