Abstract Background Erythrocyte transfusions are independently associated with acute kidney injury. Kidney injury may be consequent to the progressive hematologic changes that develop during storage. This study therefore tested the..
Read MoreAbstract Intraoperative temperature regimen is usually planned preoperatively ‘in team’. Selecting and understanding the impact of the temperature regimen (normothermia, or mild, moderate or severe hypothermia) is usually related to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Patients with coronary artery disease and concomitant heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction < 35%) requiring myocardial revascularization are at risk of poor long-term prognosis and higher mortality. The benefits..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Hyperglycemia has been associated with postoperative morbidity in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. However, it remains unclear whether the duration of hyperglycemia is as important as its magnitude..
Read MoreAbstract Respiratory failure and systemic inflammation are paramount features of severe SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy has a potential role in patients with refractory disease. An inflammatory..
Read MoreAbstract Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is optimally treated by pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PEA). Treatment effectiveness has been evaluated principally using single-center series. Data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates cardiac surgery and is more common among Black patients. We evaluated determinants of race-based differences in AKI rates. Methods Serum creatinine-based criteria..
Read MoreOverdrive Suppression We have here in Figure 1 what is most likely an AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Could it possibly be an AV reentrant tachycardia with orthodromic conduction through..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of increased blood lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on immediate results in patients who underwent open..
Read MoreAbstract The contribution of veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to systemic oxygen delivery is determined by the ratio of total extracorporeal blood flow (Q˙EC) to cardiac output (Q˙). Thermodilution-based..
Read MoreIn this video we are going to present step by step dissection and operation of carotid body tumor from incision up to complete excision. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of..
Read More[gallery ids="22031"] States that the volume of blood that passes through the mitral valve should be equal to the volume that passes through the aortic valve. SV = systolic range;..
Read MoreAbstract Verbal communication during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures is essential for safe and efficient cardiac surgery, yet sensitive to failure due to a current lack of standardization. The..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with coagulopathic bleeding. Impaired thrombin generation may be an important cause of coagulopathic bleeding but is poorly measured by existing..
Read MoreAVR and MVR and IABPC in severe Pulmonary Hipertension. [playlist ids="22025"] Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical research ADKWA center as well as Head of IUMS transplant..
Read MoreAbstract Critically ill patients requiring catecholamine infusion may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Initiating ECMO support may affect the circulating catecholamine levels, which directly influences the circulatory support. We..
Read MoreAbstract Atrioventricular disruption after a mitral valve replacement is a rare but fatal complication. A case of 72 year-old woman is presented. She had a medical history of aortic and..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 37-year-old female with previous Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS) and a history of gestational insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, who was admitted to hospital at 32 weeks..
Read MoreThe ELSO Learning Academy is a comprehensive collection of online courses. It provides continuing education for active ELSO centers and ELSO members. You must be logged in to access the..
Read MorePerfusion Scholarships for Future Medical Leaders: Application Open Between December 27, 2021 – March 25, 2022 As the largest perfusion provider in the industry, it is our privilege to help..
Read MoreLa vía clínica RICC pretende identificar, difundir y favorecer la implementación de las mejores actuaciones basadas en la evidencia científica para disminuir la variabilidad en la práctica clínica. La puesta..
Read MoreAbstract ECMO is the most frequently used mechanical support for patients suffering from low cardiac output syndrome. Combining IABP with ECMO is believed to increase coronary artery blood flow, decrease..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is commonly associated with acute kidney injury, and microvascular endothelial inflammation is a potential underlying mechanism. We hypothesized that pro-inflammatory components of..
Read MoreAbstract Acute aortic syndromes represent a spectrum of life-threatening aortic pathologies. Prompt diagnosis and proper management of these syndromes are important in reducing overall mortality and morbidity, which remains high...
Read MoreAbstract Aim Patients with cardiogenic shock or ARDS, for example, in COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2, may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). An ECLS/ECMO model simulating challenging vascular anatomy is desirable for cannula insertion..
