Expression of Inflammation in Myocardial Tissue of Rabbits: Comparison of Two Miniaturized Heart-Lung Machines
The majority of cases involving the surgical treatment of congenital heart disease require implementation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
The majority of cases involving the surgical treatment of congenital heart disease require implementation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Ultrafiltration has been shown to decrease total body water and postoperative blood loss and improve the alveolar to arterial oxygen gradient and pulmonary compliance. This study investigated whether conventional ultrafiltration during CPB in paediatric heart surgeries influences post-bypass extravascular lung water (EVLW) assessed by lung ultrasound (LUS).
This article developes a pediatric membrane oxygenator that is compact, high performance, and highly safe.
