Abstract Background Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the preferred treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Crystalloid priming solutions cause hemodilution..
Read MoreAbstract Background The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a cardiocirculatory support has tremendously increased in critically ill patients. Although fluid therapy is an essential component of the..
Read MoreAbstract Background The optimal fluid management strategy for patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery was controversial regarding the fluid types. This study aimed to compare the impact of hydroxyethyl starch (HES)..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Risk factors for severe postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery remain multiple and incompletely elucidated. We evaluated the impact of intraoperative blood product transfusions, intravenous fluid administration, and persistently..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To assess whether bioimpedance spectroscopy analysis (BIA) can be used as a tool to guide postoperative fluid management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design An observational study. Setting..
Read MoreAbstract Background The optimal fluid management strategy for patients undergoing cardiac surgery was controversial regarding fluid volume and intraoperative fluid types. This study aimed to assess the correlation between colloids..
Read MoreAbstract Adequate fluid management in the in paediatric patients is essential for restoring and maintaining homeostasis and ensuring adequate . A well-designed infusion regimen is crucial for preventing severe complications such as hyponatraemic encephalopathies...
Read MoreAbstract A restrictive fluid strategy is recommended in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) managed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). However, there are no established predictors for..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The benefit of using gelatin solution in cardiac surgery is still controversial. Previous data suggested adverse interactions of gelatin infusion with (AKI) or . The purpose of this study was..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Anemia and red cell transfusion contribute to morbidity and mortality of surgery. The concept of patient blood management to mitigate preoperative anemia, optimize coagulation, conserve red cells intraoperatively..
Read MoreAbstract Fluid resuscitation is a core component of emergency and critical care medicine. While the focus of clinicians has largely been on detecting patients who would respond to fluid therapy, relatively..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Although the management of body water balance on cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), especially in children, is essential, little is known how body water composition changes around CPB...
Read MoreAbstract In 2020, the attention of the medical community was stolen by the novel coronavirus pandemic. In the setting of the rapidly evolving and unpredictable deadly disease, there was little..
Read MoreAbstract The use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) among adults is rapidly increasing worldwide. By 2020, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry had recorded >24,000 cases of..
Read MoreKeith Samolyk, CCP discusses the physiology of fluid management and the importance of maintaining Colloid Oncotic Pressure (COP).
Read MoreThis program discusses fluid/volume management of the cardiac patient undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and fluid management of the critical care patient in the Intensive Care Unit. This program discusses the perils..
Read MoreSuper lecture and discussion around management of the Critical Care Unit patient. Common problems if the ICU patient. What is the role of the CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy). Mostly..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Saline-based and hydroxyethyl starch solutions are associated with increased risk of renal dysfunction. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that balanced solutions and a limited volume..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the current practice of perioperative fluid management in cardiac surgery patients. Design Multiple choice survey with 26 questions about existing practice of perioperative fluid management in..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Pediatric surgery for congenital tracheal stenosis continues to be a therapeutic challenge, and it often requires cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for intra-operative extracorporeal cardiorespiratory..
