Speaking Up in the Perioperative Setting
This article therefore looks to explain the role of Freedom to Speak Up Guardians and how this new role impacts on how concerns should be raised.
Pharmacokinetics Alterations in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review
Systematic evaluations of pharmacokinetic alterations of drugs on ECMO that incorporate multidrug opportunistic trials, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, and other methods are necessary for definitive dose recommendations.
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO): 2020 Pediatric Respiratory ELSO Guideline
This guideline describes prolonged extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), applicable to Pediatric respiratory failure.
Development of the Adult ECMO Specialist Certification Examination
It is anticipated that ECMO facilities and ECMO service providers will incorporate the certification examination as part of their process improvement, safety, and quality assurance plans.
Extracorporeal Life Support in Hemorrhagic Conditions: A Systematic Review
The use of ECLS for temporary circulatory or respiratory support in critical patients with refractory hemorrhagic shock appears feasible considering tailored ECMO management strategies.
Xenogeneic Cross-Circulation for Extracorporeal Recovery of Injured Human Lungs
Our findings suggest that cross-circulation can serve as a complementary approach to clinical EVLP to recover injured donor lungs that could not otherwise be utilized for transplantation, as well as a translational research platform for immunomodulation and advanced organ bioengineering.
Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement on Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation: Going beyond Aesthetics.
We advocate that our multidisciplinary approach supported by multiple technologies may be associated with faster recovery and superior outcomes than conventional minimally/conventional techniques.
Risk Factor for Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Valve Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To prevent postoperative AKI in CKD patients, low CPB target temperature is avoided, especially for those with high preoperative serum creatinine levels.
Predictors of Increased Lactate in Neonatal Cardiac Surgery: The Impact of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
These results emphasized the importance of blood pressure management during CPB and the importance of the duration of circulatory arrest.
SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Cardiovascular Disease: COVID-19 Heart
In this review, we summarise the cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 infection and propose a simplified algorithm for patient management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Evaluation of Point-of-Care ACT Coagulometers and Anti-Xa Activity During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This suggests that ACT devices should not be used interchangeably, but cut-off values for safe anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass should be determined for each type of device, particularly when switching supplier.
Predicting Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Cognitive Decline with Combined Intraoperative Electroencephalogram Monitoring and Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Interventions
The results of our study show that the degree of intraoperative EEG suppression on one hand, and low rScO2 at the end of procedure on the other hand, are associated with respectively POD and POCD in patients undergoing cardiac interventions.
