Abstract Background Maintaining adequate oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted cardiac surgery is crucial, but hyperoxia has been suggested to cause organ injury. We compared the effects of restrictive vs liberal oxygenation..

Abstract This report presents a case series that introduces differential venous drainage (DVD) as an underrated complication arising from the hemodynamic impact of the extracorporeal life support (ECLS) circuit on..

Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a cornerstone of modern cardiac surgery, facilitating a bloodless and motionless field for surgeons. Traditionally, hyperoxia—elevated levels of arterial oxygen tension (PaO₂)—has been employed during..

Abstract Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening disease with high mortality and poor prognosis, usually treated by surgery. There are many complications in its perioperative period, one of..

Abstract Hypovolemia, anemia and hypoxemia may cause critical deterioration in the oxygen delivery (DO2). Their early detection followed by a prompt and appropriate intervention is a cornerstone in the care..

Introduction In the last decade, primarily following the H1N1 pandemics [], the extracorporeal respiratory assist is increasingly used [, ]. The acronym “ECMO”, i.e., ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, is, however, somehow misleading..

Currently, many centers use venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) as an adjunctive means of gas exchange to mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with severe ARDS and refractory hypoxemia. One of..
