In this section, you will find a variety of informative videos about cannulation in cardiac surgery and aspects of CPB by our collaborator Asif Mushtaq.
Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a critical component of cardiac surgery, allowing the heart to be temporarily stopped while maintaining circulation and oxygenation. Proper hemodynamic management during CPB is essential..
Read MoreIntroduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a life-saving technology that temporarily replaces the heart and lungs during cardiac surgery. The choice of priming solution plays a crucial role in maintaining hemodynamic..
Read More1. Introduction Cardioplegia plays a crucial role in myocardial protection during cardiac surgery by inducing controlled cardiac arrest and minimizing ischemic injury. Over the years, various cardioplegia strategies have evolved,..
Read MoreIntroduction Isolated Limb Perfusion (ILP) is a targeted chemotherapy technique used primarily for treating locally advanced limb malignancies, such as soft tissue sarcomas and melanoma. By isolating the limb’s vascular..
Read MoreIntroduction Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an advanced oncologic perfusion technique designed to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis, a condition where cancer spreads within the peritoneal cavity (Sugarbaker, 1995). This innovative approach..
Read MoreLeft Heart Bypass: An Overview Introduction Left Heart Bypass (LHB) is a surgical technique used to temporarily divert blood from the left side of the heart to maintain distal perfusion..
Read MoreIntroduction The history of cardiac surgery in Pakistan is often credited to various institutions, but a lesser-known and largely undocumented fact is that the first open-heart surgery in Pakistan was..
Read MoreCardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a cornerstone of modern cardiac surgery, enabling complex procedures by temporarily taking over the heart and lung functions. However, one of the most critical aspects of..
Read MoreIntroduction The European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) establishes standardized guidelines to ensure quality and safety in perfusion practices across Europe. These guidelines provide a framework for clinical protocols, training,..
Read MoreSerum lactate is a critical biomarker in cardiac surgery, offering insights into tissue oxygenation and metabolic status. Elevated lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can indicate inadequate perfusion, hypoxia, or..
