Abstract Importance The optimal approach to the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiogenic shock is uncertain. Objective To determine whether early use of moderate hypothermia (33-34 °C) compared with..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management is recommended for patients after cardiac arrest, but the supporting evidence is of low certainty. METHODS In an open-label trial with blinded assessment of outcomes,..
Read MoreAbstract Importance The optimal approach to the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiogenic shock is uncertain. Objective To determine whether early use of moderate hypothermia (33-34 °C) compared with..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To investigate the effects of different target hypothermia on the cardiovascular function and prognosis of rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods A total of 44 male SD rats were..
Read MoreAbstract Accidental hypothermia (AH) in Mediterranean countries often is underestimated. AH should be suspected in patients also in moderate climates throughout all seasons. Compared with other countries, the mortality rate..
Read MoreAbstract Background Oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is closely related to postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). The value of critical indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) is a key indicator to..
Read MoreAbstract Aim To determine whether targeting a mean arterial pressure of 90 mmHg (MAP90) would yield improved cerebral blood flow and less ischaemia compared to MAP 60 mmHg (MAP60) with..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Optimal selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) management for neonatal aortic arch surgery has not been extensively studied. We induced mild hypothermia during SCP and used the tissue oxygenation monitor..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Targeted temperature management (TTM) is a standard of care in patients after cardiac arrest for neuroprotection. Currently, the effectiveness and efficacy of TTM after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)..
Read MoreJohn Ingram, CCP lectures on the differences between PH stat and Alpha stat techniques for blood gas management and the advantages and disadvantages of each during norm and hypothermic bypass..
Read MoreAbstract Temperature management is an essential element of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as indicated in the Guide to Good Practice in Clinical Perfusion, ‘The safe conduct of CPB requires the clinical..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Core temperature patterns in patients warmed with forced air remain poorly characterized. Also unknown is the extent to which transient and mild intraoperative hypothermia contributes to adverse outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: In order to assess the current status of temperature management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in China and, thereby, implement standardized management protocols, the authors carried out a national..
Read MoreAbstract We present a case series of seven patients with suspected cold agglutinin antibodies, discovered after initiation of bypass. Laboratory analysis of blood samples intraoperatively determined the cause of the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac arrest caused by accidental hypothermia is a rare phenomenon with a significant mortality rate if untreated. The consensus is that these patients should be rewarmed with extracorporeal..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Although antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) provides good brain protection during aortic arch surgery, the issue of distal organ protection during circulatory arrest remains to be clarified. The..
Read MoreAbstract Aim Although recent (CA) trials found no benefits of versus normothermia , preclinical models suggest earlier timing of hypothermia improves efficacy. This study investigated whether shorter time to goal temperature was associated with..
Read MoreObjective To determine the relationships between hypothermia and pH at surgery end and postoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in massively transfused adult cardiac surgery patients. Design . Setting Single..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Hypothermic circulatory arrest is widely used for correction of acute type A aortic dissection pathology. We present our experience of 45 consecutive patients operated in our unit with..
