What Blood Temperature for an Ex Vivo Extracorporeal Circuit?

Investigators in this field must be aware of the fact that blood temperature is a crucial confounding parameter and the type of "background noise" they will face depending on the strategy adopted.

A National Study of Job Satisfaction and Burnout Among Perfusionists

When the MBI scores are divided into the eight phases and then compressed into the three subphases, 42% of the perfusionists surveyed are categorized as low burnouts, 20% of the perfusionists as moderately burned out, and 38% were in the high burnout group.

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Adipocyte In Vivo Delivery System: Case Report

The authors hypothesized that autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP) could be used as an in vivo adipocyte delivery system to favor cell survival and to stimulate early recruitment of microcapillaries to the site of implantation.
