Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an expensive and scarce life sustaining treatment provided to certain critically ill patients. Little is known about the informed consent process for ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication faced by children following ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study was..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is an adverse outcome that increases morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures. To date, the use of serum creatinine..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides lifesaving circulatory support and gas exchange, although hematologic complications are frequent. The relationship between ECMO and severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50 × 109/L) remains ill-defined. We performed..
Read MoreAbstract Although machine perfusion has gained momentum as an organ preservation technique in liver transplantation, persistent organ shortages and high waitlist mortality highlight unmet needs for improved organ salvage strategies...
Read MoreAbstract Dear Editor, In the earliest phases of the pandemic, the use of extracorporeal life support in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was associated with disastrous outcomes. However,..
Read MoreAbstract Dynamic or hybrid configurations for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are needed when patient physiology or clinical conditions change. Dynamic configurations included configurations converting from veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO or veno-venous..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invaluable means of supporting critically ill children with refractory respiratory or cardiac failure. Controversy remains; however, whether roller or centrifugal pumps are superior,..
Read MoreAbstract Hemodynamic instability due to dysregulated host response is a life-threatening condition requiring vasopressors and vital organ support. Hemoadsorption with Cytosorb has proven to be effective in reducing cytokines and..
Read MoreAbstract Hemostasis and thrombosis are believed to be so intricately linked that any strategies that reduce thrombosis will have an inevitable impact on hemostasis. Consequently, bleeding is viewed as an unavoidable..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery. We quantified the mortality and costs of varying degrees of AKI using a population-based cohort in Alberta, Canada. Methods A cohort of..

Read MoreAbstract Knowledge of mitral valve (MV) anatomy has been accrued from anatomic specimens derived by cadavers, or from direct inspection during open heart surgery. However, today two-dimensional and three-dimensional transthoracic..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The aim of this study was to compare three different blood washing techniques and describe the differences for the composition of the washed red blood cells (RBC). Methods:..
Read MoreAbstract Adequate and durable recovery in patients supported with venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be challenging to predict. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning is the process by which the..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a last resort therapy for patients with terminal respiratory failure. In the current worldwide surge of critically ill patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19),..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a modified form of cardiopulmonary bypass and a complex adult critical care therapy. No evidence appears to exist on sustaining relevant quality nursing standards during..
Read MoreAbstract The Priming volume of the oxygenators has been reduced by 75% during the last two decades and it is now possible to go safely on bypass with a priming..
Read MoreAbstract Commercial 0.9% saline solution for infusion has a pH around 5.5. There are many reasons for this acidity, some of them still obscure. It is also true that infusion..
