Splanchnic Oxygen Saturation Immediately After Weaning From Cardiopulmonary Bypass Can Predict Early Postoperative Outcomes in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery
After weaning from CPB, splanchnic rSO2 may be superior to rSO2 measured from brain and kidney in predicting an increased requirement for vasoactive inotropic support, a prolonged mechanical ventilation, and a longer postoperative hospital stay for children.
Effect of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support on the Plasma Levels of Commonly Utilized Catecholamines
Because the catecholamine levels remain steady after a brief decrease in levels after initiating the ECMO, sustained hemodynamic support from catecholamine is expected in patients initiated on ECMO. A lack of sustained support as expected from catecholamine infusion is unlikely the result of drug adsorption to the ECMO circuit.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery without Blood Transfusion; Is It Possible?
Triple combination technique is safe and cost-effective in coronary artery bypass surgery. We think that most of the patients could be operated without blood transfusion with this technique.
