Abstract Primary graft dysfunction is a feared complication and cause of mortality post–heart transplant. Primary graft dysfunction may require mechanical circulatory support, such as venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which carries..

Abstract The term heparin resistance (HR) is used by clinicians without specific criteria. We performed a literature search and surveyed our SSC membership to better define the term when applied..
Lee mas
Abstract Background Current medical simulators for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are expensive and rely on low-fidelity methodologies. This creates a challenge that demands a new approach to eliminate high costs..
Lee mas
Abstract The rising application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emphasized the need for consistent and standardized terminology, especially concerning peripheral percutaneous cannulation of the pulmonary artery (PPC-PA). The Extracorporeal..
Lee mas
Abstract Background Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk, low-volume procedure requiring repetition, skill and multiple disciplines with fidelity of communication. Yet many barriers exist to maintain proficiency and skills..
Lee mas
Abstract BACKGROUND: Vaso-inotropic agents are frequently used to prevent and/or treat low cardiac output syndrome in infants undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. Due to the lack of comparative studies,..

Abstract Protamine, a highly basic protein isolated from salmon sperm, is the only clinically available agent to reverse the anticoagulation of unfractionated heparin. Following intravenous administration, protamine binds to heparin..
Lee mas
Abstract The development of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been rapid, and its use worldwide in patients with cardiogenic shock is increasingly widespread. However, current statistical data and clinical research..

Abstract Importance Prone positioning may improve outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it is unknown whether prone positioning improves clinical outcomes among patients with ARDS who..
Lee mas
Abstract Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) guidelines recommend a standardized approach to manage cardiac arrest, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation, and administration of drugs such as epinephrine [1]. Ultrasound (US)..

Abstract OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to predict bleeding after cardiac surgery with machine learning using the data from the ANZSCTS (Australia New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons)..
Lee mas
Abstract Background Concerns regarding the safety and availability of transfused donor blood have prompted research into a range of techniques to minimise allogeneic transfusion requirements. Cell salvage (CS) describes the..
