Effect of Intermediate-Dose vs Standard-Dose Prophylactic Anticoagulation on Thrombotic Events, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Treatment, or Mortality Among Patients With COVID-19 Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit: The INSPIRATION Randomized Clinical Trial
This review describes the physiologic basis for warm blood cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery and outlines the current basic and clinical research that evaluates the usefulness of this technique when compared with cold blood and crystalloid cardioplegia.
This article discusses current understanding of myocardial biology, emphasizing the regeneration potential of the adult human heart and the mechanisms involved.
These changes in key characteristics of the red blood cell aging process likely increase the susceptibility of red blood cells to the various mechanical, osmotic, and immunological stress conditions encountered during and after surgery in the patient’s circulation, and thereby contribute to the side effects of surgery.
