Effect of Cytokine Adsorption on Survival and Circulatory Stabilization in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Due to small case numbers and the retrospective design of the study, our results neither disprove nor confirm a clinically relevant treatment effect of cytokine adsorption. Results from larger trials, preferably randomized-controlled trials are required to better understand the clinical benefit of cytokine adsorption after ECPR.

Comparison of Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenators With Different Perfusion Modes During Normothermic and Hypothermic CPB in a Simulated Neonatal Model
The objectives of this investigation were (1) to compare two hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators (Capiox Baby RX versus Lilliput 1-D901) in terms of pressure drops and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) during normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model; and (2) to evaluate pulsatile and non-pulsatile perfusion modes for each oxygenator in terms of SHE levels.
