In the present study, pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was investigated in terms of the effects on cytokines, endothelin, catecholamine, and pulmonary and renal functions.
High-intensity staffing model during daytime hours by cardiac surgery intensivists significantly improved ICU-related outcomes. However, high-intensity staffing did not affect early mortality after cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of awake extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to increase the success rate of weaning patients from ECMO and ventilator care during treatment of postoperative severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
