The Relationships of Cerebral and Somatic Oxygen Saturation with Physiological Parameters in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Analysis Using the Random-Effects Model.
Through the whole surgical period, ScO2 correlated strongly with mean blood pressure regardless of the physiological type. the physiological parameters affecting ScO2 and SrO2 were rather different. Accordingly, the significance of monitoring of cerebral and somatic tissue oxygen saturation in pediatric cardiac surgery should be further evaluated.

Influence of Administration of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell on Pediatric Oxygenator Performance and Inflammatory Response
The administration of mesenchymal stromal cells does not interfere with oxygenator function. Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells show no immunogenicity, and increase plasma IL-6 level during ex vivo circulation. Further investigation is necessary to determine the effect of mesenchymal stromal cell delivery through CPB during pediatric cardiac surgery.
