In conclusion, poor oxygenation under ECMO with alternation of bright red and dark red blood in the drainage cannula must refer to recirculation by cannula misplacement. Transesophageal echocardiography must be performed first when there is a lack of oxygenation during venovenous ECMO.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether high lactate levels after cardiac surgery are predictors of major complications including mortality.
Intraoperative cerebral oxygen desaturation is associated with early postoperative neuropsychological dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
