This article reviews the mechanisms of brain injury associated with cardiopulmonary bypass.

We developed a system to capture and study detailed information during cardiac surgery that serves as a framework for understanding variation that occurs during CPB. The system allows the surgical team to link unwanted variation (ie, hypotension) and unwanted events (ie, the production of microemboli) to the processes of care.

GIK may therefore serve to protect the myocardium and promote adequate cardiac and hemodynamic performance that would improve patient recovery.

In this study, we test the hypothesis that off-pump coronary bypass surgery might result in less lymphocyte activation than on-pump coronary surgery.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the time of cessation of aspirin before coronary artery bypass surgery, and postoperative oxygenation and bleeding.

Therapy with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) may be an effective treatment strategy for patients with refractory bleeding.

Expanding the donor pool: use of renal transplantats from non-heart-beating donors supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

The aims of this study were to evaluate myocardial metabolic activity during tepid blood cardioplegic infusion in the arrested heart in comparision with cold blood cardioplegia and to assess the early clinical outcomes of these patients.

To investigate the effect of fentanyl on cytokines and MDA in valve replacement surgery during cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB).
