Abstract Objective Cardiothoracic surgery is a large field in Australia, and evidence suggests post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) hyperlactataemia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Low thiamine levels are a potentially..

Abstract Purpose After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the radial artery pressure is frequently lower than the central pressure as reflected by femoral pressure. This discrepancy may cause improper blood..

Abstract Introduction Hyperlactatemia, a problem reported in up to 30% of cardiac surgery patients, results from excessive production of or decreased clearance of lactate. It is typically a symptom of..

Abstract Background Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) is employed as a strategy to attenuate the physiologic disturbance caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to compare the..

Abstract Neurologic complications, associated with cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults, are common and can be devastating in some cases. This comprehensive review will not only consider the..

Abstract Background Microcirculatory disturbances are typically most severe during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which occurs during cardiac surgeries. If microvascular reactivity compensates for microcirculatory disturbances during CPB, tissue hypoxemia can be..

Abstract Objective Corticosteroids can attenuate the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass, but their benefits on clinical outcomes are unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate whether corticosteroid therapy affects outcomes..

Abstract Objective Delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR) remains a common complication after surgery and the incidence of it is determined 30–80% after cardiac surgery with cardiac bypass (CPB) in eldery patients...

Abstract Anemia is a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Whether red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-enhanced hemoglobin levels contribute to low AKI rates remains unclear...

Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to shedding of the glycocalyx of endothelial cells, resulting in a series of complications such as tissue edema and coagulatory and microcirculatory dysfunctions. Matrix..

Abstract Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava are rare but if unidentified may create a risk for complications during surgery. In cardiac surgery, identifying such anomalies is crucial as..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Platelets are the smallest of the blood cells and are known to be activated during cardiopulmonary bypass. They play a role in many associated complications. Both quantitative and qualitative..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract By reason of surgical demand, the majority of cardiovascular procedures still depend on the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Due to the nonphysiological state of CPB, it can cause..

Abstract Background: Cerebral injury is an important complication after cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The rate of overt stroke after cardiac surgery is 1% to 2%, whereas..

Abstract Objective In chronic kidney disease (CKD), using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may contribute to renal dysfunction. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is one technique that preserved renal function, but..

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in cardiac surgery is performed under systemic heparinization. Adequacy of heparin therapy and anticoagulation during ECC is assessed by activated clotting time (ACT), although there..

Abstract The optimal setting to achieve a suitable PaCO2 value of 35–45 mmHg upon initiating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the pediatric population is undefined in the literature. Sweep gas is set..

Abstract   OBJECTIVES Colloid oncotic pressure (COP) is an important factor in cardiac surgery, owing to its role in haemodilution. The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass prime fluids on the COP..

Abstract Background Nicorandil, an adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel agonist and nitric oxide donor, is a coronary vasodilator used to treat ischemia-induced chest pain, but it's potential cardioprotective benefits during open..

Abstract   OBJECTIVES Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas insufflation is used for continuous de-airing during open heart surgery. The aim was to evaluate if an additional separate venous reservoir eliminates CO2 insufflation-induced..

Abstract Background In this study we hypothesize that depression is associated with perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction and altered quality of life one month after surgery. Methods Data were obtained as part..

Abstract Introduction Heparin resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass poses a significant intraoperative dilemma. Antithrombin deficiency related heparin resistance is well described, but less common causes are still poorly understood and inadequately..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Optimal heparin titration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may reduce coagulation system activation and preserve hemostatic function post-CPB. Our objective was to assess if the Heparin Management System (HMS)..

Abstract Background Pediatric cardiac surgery is in itself very enigmatic and individualized. Presently, there has been a slew of new developments aimed primarily toward pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass for safer, patient-centered..
