Abstract Alveolar de recruitment is a common problem during general anesthesia and operations. Pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary Bypass is associated with interruption of ventilation and might enhance loss of..
Lee masAbstract Monitoring the patient receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is challenging due to the complex physiological interplay between native and membrane lung. Understanding these interactions is essential to..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced treatment for acute severe respiratory failure. Patients on ECMO are frequently maintained sedated and immobilized until weaning from ECMO, first, and..
Lee masAbstract Objective Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) remain a main issue after cardiac surgery. The objective was to report the incidence and identify risk factors of PPC after cardiac surgery. Design..
Lee masAbstract Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass causes a series of inflammatory events that have adverse effects on the outcome. The release of cytokines, including interleukins, plays a key role in the pathophysiology of..
Lee masStudy Questions: What are the differences in outcomes between a strategy of staged repair (SR) (initial palliation [IP] and subsequent complete repair [CR]) as compared with primary repair (PR)..
Lee masAbstract The management of a patient placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a team effort. The anesthesiology team plays an integral part during cannulation and oftentimes as well during..
Lee masAbstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is necessary for most cardiac surgery, which may lead to postoperative lung injury. The objective of this paper is to systematically evaluate whether ventilation during..
