World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
Cognitive difficulties have been reported after coronary artery bypass graft surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.
Gaseous microemboli (GMEs) have been connected to neurologic impairment and other ischemic complications after surgery.
Our study confirmed that the amount of perioperative bleeding and intraoperative transfusion were significantly higher in the HCA group. ROTEM analysis would indicate that clot firmness contributed by platelet component is reduced by HCA in cardiac surgery.
