Targeted Temperature Management in Survivors of Cardiac Arrest

Main Zone, Mobile Zone, Perfusion Zone

Mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) results in a significant decrease in mortality and improvement of neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest (CA) survivors. Cardiologists and intensivists must be acquainted with the indications and technique because MTH is the only proven neuroprotective therapy for CA survivors. CA involves reinstituting meaningful cardiac activity and minimizing secondary neurologic injuries. This article focuses on MTH as the main strategy for post-CA care.

Retrograde Autologous Priming for Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Safe and Effective Means of Decreasing Hemodilution and Transfusion Requirements

The obligatory hemodilution resulting from crystalloid priming of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit represents a major risk factor for blood transfusion in cardiac operations. We therefore examined whether retrograde autologous priming of the bypass circuit would result in decreased hemodilution and red cell transfusion.
