Read MoreAbstract Background Patients with (COVID-19)-related (ARDS) increasingly receive (ECMO) support. While ECMO has been shown to increase risk of stroke, few studies have examined this association in COVID-19 patients. Objective We conducted a..
Read MoreAbstract that can contribute to abnormal bleeding can have a detrimental effect during cardiac surgery. Patients who are known to have such pathologies should be investigated thoroughly and cautious measures..
Read MoreAbstract Objective One of the steps of the Surgical Safety Checklist is for the team members to introduce themselves. The objective of this study was to implement a tool to..
Read MoreAbstract The dramatic increase in the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) over the last decade with the concomitant need for ECMO competent perfusionists has raised questions of how well..
Read MoreAbstract Secondary mitral valve regurgitation is a frequent consequence of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with severe heart failure. The management of this disease can be challenging since it often..
Read MoreAbstract Circulatory arrest and left heart bypass are the most common approaches to manage perfusion during distal arch surgery. We report a novel perfusion technique utilized in the treatment of..
Read MoreAbstract There are quarter of a million articles in PubMed since the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic with about fifteen hundred articles on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) alone. Those that are entrenched..
