Microparticles from Stored Red Blood Cells Activate Neutrophils and Cause Lung Injury after Hemorrhage and Resuscitation
The presence of MPs in stored units can be associated with adverse effects, including lung injury, after transfusion.
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
The presence of MPs in stored units can be associated with adverse effects, including lung injury, after transfusion.
It is unknown whether ACP results in less cerebral injury than DHCA.
In summary, the generation and delivery of microemboli during CPB procedures are multifactorial and multidisciplinary. Therefore, the solutions to this significant problem should also be multidisciplinary. Optimization of CPB circuitry and techniques are necessary to minimize intraoperative injuries during pediatric cardiac surgery.
