Heparin-coated vs. Non-coated Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuits: Comparing Immediate Results with Different Target Activated Clotting Time

Heparin-coated circuits and reduced level of systemic heparinization with 300 seconds of target ACT level in cardiac surgery under CPB are safe and result in a very satisfactory clinical course.

The Evolving Role of the Modern Perfusionist: Insights from Transesophageal Echocardiography

Transesophageal echocardiography may serve the clinical perfusionist by providing imaging guidance for identifying potential problems before cardiopulmonary bypass, guiding the proper placement of cannulas, monitoring cardiac performance on cardiopulmonary bypass, and providing useful feedback during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass.
