Abstract Because of a severe dysregulation of the host response to infection, septic shock may induce a profound imbalance between oxygen consumption and delivery, which in some cases may be..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) provide respiratory support aimed at gaining time to allow patient’s recovery from hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure, respectively. However, in..

Abstract Objective Aortic surgery often causes massive bleeding due to hypofibrinogenemia. Predicting hypofibrinogenemia is useful for developing a hemostasis strategy, including preparing for blood transfusion. We made a formula for..

Abstract We investigated MBL2 and MASP2 genotypes, serum MBL (mannose-binding lectin) levels and activities of its complexes with associated serine proteases (MASP-1, MASP -2), in relation to complications following cardiac surgery in 195 children...

Abstract Background: This meta-analysis was performed to review the effects of the addition of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) and conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) to CUF alone on postoperative hemoglobin, surgical and ultrafiltration..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery has been associated with several deleterious effects including haemodilution and systemic inflammation. Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been well established in paediatric cardiac surgery..

Abstract Background Heparin dosage for anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is commonly calculated based on the patient's body weight. The protamine–heparin ratio used for heparin reversal varies widely among institutions..

Abstract Rationale:  Recent pediatric studies suggest a survival benefit exists for higher-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers. Objectives:  To determine if higher annual ECMO patient volume is associated with lower..
