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 in counteracting postperfusion syndrome. However, MUF is less commonly used in adult cardiac surgery. In this meta-analysis, we compared clinical..

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 (0.7–1.3 mg protamine/100 IU heparin). Excess protamine may impair coagulation. With an empirically developed algorithm, the HeProCalc program, heparin, and protamine..

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 case-mix–adjusted hospital mortality rate. Methods:  We retrospectively analyzed an international registry of ECMO support from 1989 to 2013. Patients were..

Abstract This is a review of the University of Michigan experience with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) also known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Two thousand patients were managed with ECMO from 1973 to 2010. The first 1,000 patients were reported previously. Of the 2,000 patients, 74% were weaned from ECLS,..
