Abstract Purpose Achieving effective anticoagulation during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) without increasing the risk of hemorrhage remains challenging. The use of antithrombin III (AT-III) for this purpose has been..

Abstract Objectives:  This project aims to describe brain injuries on routine neuroimaging in a large single-center neonatal and pediatric cohort supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The study also aims to..

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Cardiopulmonary bypass triggers systemic inflammation, resulting in lung injury, and frequently leads to prolonged mechanical ventilation. Biomarkers of systemic inflammation are required to predict the risk of such..

Abstract Objectives:  To describe blood component usage in transfused children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery across perioperative settings and diagnostic categories. Design:  Datasets from U.S. hospitals participating..

Abstract Evidence for the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children with refractory respiratory failure or shock following ingestion or toxin exposure, has been confined to single-center experiences, individual..

Abstract Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common tachyarrhythmia in pediatrics. Although postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a known complication of congenital heart surgery that is typically transient, congenital JET..

Abstract Systemic hypertension (HTN) is a recognized complication of veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children. We sought to determine the prevalence and associated features of HTN in a..

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome measures between our standard multidose cardioplegia protocol and a del Nido cardioplegia protocol in congenital heart surgery patients. Methods:..

Abstract Objectives To determine the optimal vancomycin dosing regimen to achieve empirical goal trough concentrations in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease and to examine the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass..

Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the hemodynamic performances and gaseous microemboli (GME) handling ability of two pediatric oxygenators in a simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model..

Abstract Purpose:  To compare characteristics and outcome in children undergoing extracorporeal life support initiated in an extracorporeal life support center or at the patient’s bedside in a local hospital, by..

Abstract Objectives:  Recent analyses show higher mortality at low-volume centers providing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We sought to identify factors associated with center volume and mortality to explain survival differences and..

Abstract Background Recently, there has been an interest in the temporal relationship between contrast exposure (CM) and cardiac surgery suggesting that a “double hit” on the kidney function in close..

Abstract Neonates have low levels of antithrombin. Inadequate anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to low antithrombin activity may result in a poor preservation of the coagulation system during bypass...

Abstract Objectives Our aim was to describe the pharmacokinetics of cefazolin in paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) who received cefazolin for peri-operative surgical prophylaxis in addition..

Abstract Objectives:  To determine the clinical benefit of using colloids versus crystalloids for volume resuscitation in children admitted after cardiac surgery. Design:  Retrospective pre-/postintervention cohort study. Setting:  Stollery Children’s Hospital..

Abstract Objective: Hemodilution is a concern in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Using a smaller dual tubing rather than a single larger inner diameter (ID) tubing in the venous limb to decrease..
