Benefits of Continuous Monitoring of PCO2 Obtained from a System Applied to Membrane Oxygenator Exhaustion of the Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit
The continuous PeCO2 monitoring from cardiopulmonary bypass circuit has a positive impact on the result of PaCO2.
Cold Agglutinins and Cardiac Surgey: a Case Report
Cold agglutinins (CA) are autoantibodies whose clinical significance depends upon titer and thermal amplitude.
Dexmedetomidine Pharmacokinetics and a New Dosing Paradigm in Infants Supported With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Dexmedetomidine is increasingly used off-label in infants and children with cardiac disease during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and in the postoperative period.
Myocardial Protection Technique Structured on Cardiac Mass
The study group in the aortic valve surgery that administered myocardial protection indexed for the left ventricular mass index and showed a statistically significant lower incidence for post-operative low cardiac output syndrome compared to the control group.
Part II. Comparison of Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Between Normothermic and Hypothermic Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Our study did not reveal any significant differences in early neurodevelopmental outcomes between H-CPB or N-CPB surgery for congenital heart defects.
Platelet Function Changes during Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery: Mechanistic Basis and Lack of Correlation with Excessive Bleeding
Thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction induced by extracorporeal blood circulation are thought to contribute to postsurgical bleeding complications in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Effect of Nitric Oxide on Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients who Underwent Cardiopulmonary Bypass: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis
NO appeared to reduce the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing CPB.
Oxygen Delivery, Oxygen Consumption and Decreased Kidney Function After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study could not confirm an evident correlation between O2 delivery and O2 consumption or kidney function decrease, even at values below previously specified critical levels.
Extended Indications for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Operating Room
As the number of indications for ECLS in the operating room is growing, anesthesiology and surgical staff should become familiar with the perioperative management of patients on ECLS.
Evidence Maps: a Tool to Guide Research Agenda Setting
In this article, we explain how evidence maps serve a goal and outline the steps required to build effective evidence maps.
St Thomas’ Hospital Polarizing Blood Cardioplegia Improves Hemodynamic Recovery in a Porcine Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Polarized cardiac arrest offers similar myocardial protection and enhances functional recovery in a porcine model of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Gray platelet syndrome: Management of Perioperative Bleeding in Redo Cardiac Surgery
We hereby describe the perioperative bleeding prevention and management of a patient with GPS requiring multiple redo cardiac surgeries.
