Lee masAbstract Thrombosis in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits remains a frequent complication. We characterize the location, extent, structure, and clinical implications of thrombi in 53 ECMO circuits from 46 pediatric patients...
Lee masAbstract Background Many studies have reported that dexmedetomidine protects organs from ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury. However, the mechanism of this protective effect remains inconclusive. Methods Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups..

Lee masAbstract Objective Metabolism management plays an essential role during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). There are different metabolic management devices integrated to heart–lung machines; the most commonly used and accepted metabolic target..
Lee masAbstract Background (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and is difficult to predict. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is highly predictive for perioperative cardiovascular complications and may also predict renal..
Lee masAbstract Objective Retrograde arterial perfusion is frequently used in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. However, there are concerns about its safety. Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted in a..
Lee masAbstract Various anticoagulant properties have been associated with hydroxyethyl starch (HES). However, the mechanism remains unclear and it has not been fully considered whether these properties are beyond the dilutional..
Lee masAbstract BACKGROUND The relicensing of aprotinin in Europe and Canada has stimulated discussions on its usefulness in paediatric cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the available evidence on the efficacy..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES Implanting a durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in a patient on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is challenging. The goal of this study was to compare..
Lee masAbstract The use of clinical debriefing promotes team reflexivity, aligns with Safety II principles and allows organisation leaders to engage clinicians in collaborative change. There is ample evidence of its..
Lee masAbstract Background Suboptimal tissue perfusion and oxygenation may be the root cause of certain perioperative complications in neonates and infants having complicated aortic coarctation repair. Practical, effective, and real-time monitoring..
Lee masAbstract Study objective To test the hypotheses that in adults having cardiac surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass, perioperative hypotension increases the risk of delirium and atrial fibrillation during the initial five..
Lee masAbstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technology for the use of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) for the heart and lung protection during operations..
Lee masAbstract Patients with bilateral high degree carotid stenosis or occlusion impose high risk for neurological complications during coronary arterial bypass surgery (CABG). Former articles have described successful CABG in patients..
Lee masAbstract Background Cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment is associated with neurological complications among children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Severe variations of arterial CO2 (PaCO2) and O2 (PaO2) tension after ECMO onset..
Lee masAbstract Introduction: Although the management of body water balance on cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), especially in children, is essential, little is known how body water composition changes around CPB...
Lee masThis case reports on a 49-year-old female patient who presented to hospital with locally advanced carcinoma of the pancreatic head with jaundice, weight loss, abdominal pain and ascites already manifested...
Lee masAbstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and usual interstitial pneumonia are three most common indications for lung transplantation (LuTx) in Poland. As a result of irreversible destruction of..
Lee masAbstract Objectives Heparin resistance (HR), defined as a decrease in heparin responsiveness, can result in adverse events with prolonged duration of surgery. Although some clinical risk factors have been suggested,..
Lee masAbstract Background: Vasoplegic syndrome (VPS) is defined as systemic hypotension due to profound vasodilatation and loss of systemic vascular resistance (SVR), despite normal or increased cardiac index, and characterized by..
