Abstract Introduction: Although decannulation from ECMO is usually irrevocable, in rare circumstances, ECMO will be reinitiated. Data on outcomes after re-cannulation of ECMO are limited,1 so we studied our experience with ECMO..

Abstract We convened a group of cardiac surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists with extensive experience in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and perioperative care to identify the essential elements of a..

Abstract Background Bleeding during cardiac surgery may be refractory to standard interventions. Off-label use of factor eight inhibitor bypass activity (FEIBA) has been described to treat such bleeding. However, reports..

Abstract In the 70-plus years of clinically applied cardiopulmonary bypass, the training of that specialist operator, or perfusionist, has been through several stages. Perfusion was not a field that was..

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed..

Abstract Background: Cesarean sections (C-section) often require blood transfusions in cases of severe bleeding, particularly challenging in Rh-negative pregnancies due to the scarcity of Rh-negative donors, with only approximately 0.3% of..

Abstract Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity and mortality and there is an uncertain volume-outcome relationship, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes. The aim of..
