Is Modified Ultrafiltration (MUF) Still Essential after Pediatric CPB? CON (EP Video)

Weight-Based versus Set Dosing of Vancomycin for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting or Aortic Valve Surgery

Weight-based vancomycin dosing before coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement results in vancomycin concentrations greater than 15 μg/mL consistently more than does standard 1-g dosing.

Precise Quantification of Pulsatility is a Necessity for Direct Comparisons of Six Different Pediatric Heart-Lung Machines in a Neonatal CPB Model

The objective of this study was to precisely quantify and compare pressure-flow waveforms in terms of surplus hemodynamic energy levels of six different pediatric heart-lung machines in a neonatal piglet model during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
