The Future of the Perfusion Record: Automated Data Collection vs. Manual Recording
This study highlights the limitation of spot recording of perfusion events in the overall record keeping for perfusion management.
Second Generation of Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circuit: Pilot Study Resting Heart System
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC).

SMART Tubing Presents an Increased Risk of Disconnection During Extracorporeal Circulation
In this study, we examined the in vitro mechanical ability of random samples (n = 10) of SMART and standard PVC tubing to withstand axial tension when the tubing was placed over a single barb of a connector.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC).
Sensitivity of a Modified ACT Test to Levels of Bivalirudin Used During Cardiac Surgery
After Ethics Committee approval, a pilot study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of using bivalirudin for on-pump cardiac surgery and to evaluate dosing of bivalirudin in terms of the pharmacokinetic and safety profile in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
2004 Survey of ECMO in the Neonate After Open Heart Surgery: Circuitry and Team Roles
These data suggest that previously published ELSO-centric ECMO studies may significantly underestimate the contemporary application of modern technologies and the involvement of perfusionists.
Update on Pediatric Perfusion Practice in North America: 2005 Survey
This survey provides an overview of clinical practice in 2004. The series of surveys document the historical progression of clinical practice over the past 16 years.
Impact of Avoiding Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Surgery on Perioperative Cardiac Enzyme Release and Survival
This study examines the association between avoiding the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for coronary surgery and postoperative cardiac enzyme (CE) release, and its subsequent impact on survival.
Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion Reduces Apoptotic Neuronal Injury in a Neonatal Piglet Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We sought to evaluate and compare the extent of neurologic injury in a neonatal piglet model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion.
Lower Limits of Hematocrit and Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation Ensuring Sufficient Cerebral Oxygenation During Hemodilution in Rabbits
This study was performed to identify critical values for these variables that would be able to ensure sufficient jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjO2), which reflects global cerebral oxygenation.
