Read MoreNine Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic for Improving Hospital Care and Health Care Delivery
Abstract New York City (NYC) was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US in March 2020. A dense city of only 302 square miles, it has had 33 359..
Read MoreAbstract Background There is a known association between need for transfusion and short-term outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However long-term data are lacking in the contemporary literature. Methods All..
Read MoreAbstract Background Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated reaction to heparin that provokes a prothrombotic state and causes a decline in platelet count. Data describing outcomes of HIT after cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder characterized by dilated intestinal lacteals that result in leakage of excessive serum proteins and lymphocytes into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract culminating..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Complications associated with use of dual-lumen venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) cannulas are of concern in pediatric patients. While the risk of atrial perforation is believed to be..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Myocardial preconditioning using volatile anesthetics such as isoflurane and sevoflurane have beneficial effects in decreasing morbidity in cardiac surgical patients. Studies in animal models have indicated that reactive oxygen..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: The Crescent® is a recently introduced dual lumen cannula by which veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is delivered. It has a number of features that enhance its ease..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES To determine the recommended concentrations of cefazolin to be used for antibiotic prophylaxis during paediatric cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC). METHODS Twenty paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery..

Read MoreAbstract Background: The purpose of the present systematic review was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of hyperbilirubinemia after cardiac surgery. Methods: The Population, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, and Study design..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Novel biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) are being developed and commercialized. However, none are universally available. The aim of this preliminary prospective observational study was to explore the..
Read MoreAbstract Objective. Recent studies have shown that the red cell distribution width- (RDW-) to-platelet (PLT) count ratio (i.e., RPR) and the mean platelet volume (MPV)/PLT ratio (i.e. MPR) are more..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Cytokine storm and endotoxin release during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have been related to vasoplegic shock and organ dysfunction. We hypothesised that early (during CPB) cytokine adsorption..
Read MoreObjectives Blood-processing techniques and preservation conditions cause storage lesions, possibly leading to adverse outcomes after transfusion. The authors investigated the metabolic changes and deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) during..
Read MoreAbstract 71.759 surgical procedures were performed in 2019 with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass in Germany. To adjust the patient’s body temperature on extracorporeal circulation, the application of a heater-cooler..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To describe blood component usage in transfused children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery across perioperative settings and diagnostic categories. Design: Datasets from U.S. hospitals participating..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cannulation strategy in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains controversial. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of double arterial cannulation (DAC) compared with..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Current diagnostic strategies for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are nonspecific and limited. Previously, we demonstrated that circulating microparticles (MPs) in patients with..
Read MoreAbstract Context: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induced acute lung injury is accounted for most of the post-operative pulmonary dysfunction which leads to decreased compliance and hypoxemia. Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) as..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an incredible, life-sustaining intervention for patients suffering from a variety of cardiopulmonary insults. However, its use comes with a unique set of risks and..
Read MoreAbstract We demonstrated pulmonary arteriolar blood flow-mediated CO2 gas excretion in rabbit lungs. The shear stress stimulation produced CO2 gas in cultured human endothelial cells of pulmonary arterioles via the activation of..
