Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving support for respiratory and cardiovascular failure. However, ECMO induces a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that can lead to various complications, including endothelial..
Read MoreAbstract Heart transplantation results in complete denervation of the donor heart with loss of afferent and efferent nerve connections. The majority of patients remain completely denervated during the first 6–12..
Read MoreAbstract Exchanging circuits in patients undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for component failure can be a life-threatening endeavor if the patient has no native organ function and is fully dependent..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Colloid oncotic pressure (COP) is an important factor in cardiac surgery, owing to its role in haemodilution. The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass prime fluids on the COP..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal hemoadsorption with the CytoSorb adsorber is increasingly being used during the past years. The use in combination with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is feasible, but frequency of its use and..
