Abstract Objective Coronary artery bypass grafting using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest is an effective treatment for coronary artery disease. Research suggests supplementing the cardioplegia solution with propofol may be..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest is an effective treatment for coronary artery disease. Research suggests supplementing the cardioplegia solution with propofol may be..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sevoflurane-based anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on intraocular pressure (IOP) during coronary artery..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving cardiopulmonary bypass technology for critically ill patients. Patients treated with ECMO receive multiple drugs to treat critical illnesses, prevent infections, and maintain..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane (SEV) and propofol (PRO) on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB),..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Myocardial revascularisation and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can cause ischaemia-reperfusion injury, leading to myocardial and other end-organ damage. Volatile anaesthetics protect the myocardium in experimental studies. However, there is uncertainty..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a cardiopulmonary bypass device that provides life-saving complete respiratory and cardiac support in patients with cardiorespiratory failure. The majority of drugs prescribed to..
Read MoreAbstract Due to its favorable pharmacologic features, propofol is the most commonly used hypnotic agent in perioperative and intensive care settings. However, it also has adverse effects like propofol infusion..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving cardiopulmonary bypass device used on critically ill patients with refractory heart and lung failure. Patients supported with ECMO receive numerous drugs to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare entity that could lead to profound cardiogenic shock (CS). Mitochondrial toxicity and sympathetic blockade are the mechanisms leading to CS in..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest is an effective treatment for coronary artery and aortic valve diseases. However, the myocardium sustains reperfusion injury after ischemic cardioplegic arrest...
Read MoreAbstract There is limited evidence as to the pharmacokinetic changes expected in adults with extracorporeal technologies. Drugs may be taken up by various components of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit itself...
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in cardiac surgery especially in elderly population which can lead to a delay of weaning from ventilator and extubation. Cardiopulmonary bypass..
Read MoreAbstract There is limited evidence as to the pharmacokinetic changes expected in adults with extracorporeal technologies. Drugs may be taken up by various components of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit itself...
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Propofol has been suggested as a useful adjunct to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) because of its potential protective effect on the heart mediated by a decrease in ischemia-reperfusion injury..
Read MoreAbstract Background To evaluate the cardioprotective effects of sevoflurane versus propofol anesthesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Studies were retrieved through searching several databases. Study quality was evaluated by..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose The efficacy of myocardial conditioning strategies is compromised in patients with advanced age, diabetes, or low ejection fraction. We conducted a single-centre parallel-arm blinded randomized-controlled trial to determine..
Read MoreAbstract Hemolysis is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support and is associated with increased mortality. Frequent monitoring of markers of hemolysis is performed at ECMO centers. We..
