Read MoreAbstract Type A aortic dissection is rare in young females; however, it is associated with a high mortality rate. This case report describes a 30-year-old female at 38 weeks of..
Read MoreECMO During COVID-19: A Society of Thoracic Surgeons/Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Survey
Abstract Background The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Workforce on Critical Care and the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization sought to identify how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The chronic blood shortage has forced clinicians to seek alternatives to allogeneic blood transfusions during surgery. Due to anatomic uniqueness resulting in a vast vasculature, liver surgery can..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Comprehensive data capture systems such as the Operating Room Black Box (OR Black Box) are becoming more widely implemented to access quality data in the complex environment of the..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction There are no randomized controlled trials comparing low and high activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) targets in heparinized adult veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. Our systematic..
Read MoreAbstract Autotransfusion, also known as autologous transfusion, is a technique that involves collecting a patient's own blood before or during surgery and then transfusing it back into the patient. This..
Read MoreAbstract The concept of “prehabilitation” consists of screening for and identification of pre-existing disorders followed by medical optimization. This is performed for many types of surgery, but may have profound..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: We determined whether intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBC) was associated with a higher incidence of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolic (HA-VTE) complications and adverse outcomes after isolated coronary artery..
Read MoreAbstract Oxigenación de membrana extracorpórea en pediatría. Una puesta al día INTRODUCCIÓN La ECMO o ECLS (Extracorporeal Life Support) es una terapia que utiliza un "bypass" cardiopulmonar parcial (ECMO veno..
Read MoreAbstract Background Modern left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have evolved to become standard of care in severe heart failure (HF) patients. Right HF (RHF) is a major complication responsible for..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgical patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at increased risk for hemorrhage due to necessary anticoagulation, in-situ cannulas, and disturbed hemostasis. We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study..
Read MoreAbstract Background Patients with critical illness can lose more than 15% of muscle mass in one week, and this can have long-term detrimental effects. However, there is currently no synthesis..
Read MoreAbstract Background Although much is known about the technical aspects of visualization, it is much less about its counterpart: the (SVC). The aims of this study therefore, were to describe in detail..

Read MoreAbstract Introduction There are no randomized controlled trials comparing low and high activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) targets in heparinized adult veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. Our systematic..
Read MoreAbstract Background ECMO support is associated with the development of a systemic hyper-inflammatory response, which may become quite significant and extreme in some cases. We hypothesize that Cytosorb or Jafron..
Read MoreAbstract Background In-hospital cardiac arrest during cardiac catheterization is not uncommon. The extent of variation in survival after cardiac arrest occurring in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) and underlying factors..
