Abstract Background Mechanical ventilation is a technique for supporting or substituting respiration. Fibrin deposition in the pulmonary microcirculation and alveolar sacs (hyaline membrane generation) is a major inflammatory route of..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) has a number of preoperative and intraoperative risk factors. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) factors have not yet been elucidated in a single..
Read MoreAbstract Currently 30-day mortality is commonly used as a quality indicator for cardiac surgery; however, prediction models have not included the role of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We hypothesized that reproducing..
Read MoreAbstract Heparin anticoagulation increases the bleeding risk during extracorporeal life support (ECLS). This study determined whether factor XII (FXII) silencing using short interfering RNA (siRNA) can provide ECLS circuit anticoagulation without bleeding. Adult..

Read MoreCardioplegia is a pharmacological therapy administered during cardiac surgery to intentionally and temporarily arrest the heart. The first solution used during cardiopulmonary bypass was reported by Dr. Melrose in the..
Read MoreTechnical Aspects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Process Overview Blood is drained from the vena caval filters directly into a reservoir. Normally a single two-stage cannula is used (drains blood from the..
Read MoreAbstract Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), a technique in which isolated lungs are continually ventilated and perfused at normothermic temperature, is emerging as a promising platform to optimize donor lung..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) restores perfusion and oxygenation in a patient who does not have spontaneous circulation. The evidence with regard to the effect of extracorporeal CPR on..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Utilization of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has increased significantly over the last decade. Prior studies have reported worse mortality for patients with vascular complications on VA-ECMO; however,..

Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) is the establishment of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). E-CPR is the last rescue therapy when, despite high-quality conventional CPR,..
Read MoreAbstract To quote medical mycologist Shawn Lockhart, PhD, Candida auris “is a very clever bug.” This hardy yeast species can remain viable for at least 2 weeks on plastic surfaces and for months..

Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: We sought to update our 2015 work in the Second Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC-2) guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pediatric acute respiratory distress..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: To systematically review and assimilate literature on children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) with the goal of developing an update to the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Seizures, strokes, and intracranial hemorrhage are common and feared complications in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Researchers and clinicians have proposed and deployed methods for monitoring..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery is performed worldwide. Most types of cardiac surgery are performed using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cardiac surgery performed with CPB is associated with morbidities. CPB needs an..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVE To compare erythrocyte recovery by a cell salvage device between swab-washing by manual agitation or filtration. SAMPLE 12 recently expired units of canine packed RBCs. PROCEDURE The packed..
Read MoreAbstract Our study assessed the relationship between the duration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) and patient outcomes. We studied patients undergoing V-V ECMO support for acute respiratory distress..
Read MoreAbstract Background Reliable biomarkers for organ quality assessment during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) are desired. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production by oxidative phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the bioenergetic homeostasis..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Despite increasing use and promising outcomes, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) introduces the risk of a number of complications across the spectrum of ECMO care. This narrative review describes..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review Delirium is a marker of acute brain insufficiency and a harbinger of poor outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Despite success preventing delirium by nonpharmacologic measures, the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR)1, sTNFR2, and plasma kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) are associated with kidney events in patients with and without diabetes. However, their associations with..
Read MoreAbstract Background Fluid overload associates with poor outcomes after neonatal cardiac surgery, but consensus does not exist for the most clinically relevant method of measuring fluid balance (FB). While weight..
