Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critical care to manage patients with severe respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO brings blood from a critically ill patient into contact with..
Read MoreAbstract Background Red blood cell transfusion is common and associated with adverse outcomes for cardiac surgery, while present blood conservation guidelines have not been fully implemented until now. This study..
Read MoreAbstract The recent emergence of microfluidic extracorporeal lung support technologies presents an opportunity to achieve high gas transfer efficiency and improved hemocompatibility relative to the current standard of care in..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Older patients have a higher cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) related mortality. Low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a risk factor for..
Read MoreAbstract Background del Nido cardioplegia has been adopted for use in adult cardiac surgery, despite a lack of robust randomised evidence supporting equivalence or superiority to conventional hyperkalaemic blood cardioplegia...
Read MoreAbstract Background Blood pressure variability (BPV), defined as the degree of variation between discrete blood pressure readings, is associated with poor outcomes in acute care settings. Acute kidney injury (AKI)..
Read MoreAbstract Objective The objective was to determine the optimal cell saver device settings (infusion rate and wash rate) at which hematocrit is preserved and potassium and lactate are removed from..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: A high-pressure excursion (HPE) is a sudden increase in oxygenator inlet pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aims of this study were to identify factors associated with HPE,..
Read MoreAbstract Since the first endovascular aortic repair in 1990, endovascular devices and the indications for their use have significantly grown. Considerable progress has been made in endovascular devices and techniques,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Electronic cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury is a clinical entity that can lead to respiratory failure and death. Despite the severity of electronic cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury,..
Read MoreTotal Arch vessels and abdominal vessels Debranching procesure at once for patient with extensive Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm as well as dissection just spared zone one with take off of graft..
Read MorePatient with Mitral Stenosis and Severe LA enlargement but unfortunately Small LV cavity undergone MVR by on of my junior colleagues post operative phase in ICU with arrest and bleeding..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 16-year-old male patient (weight 56 kg), who was admitted from the hematology-oncology ward to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) after a clinical deterioration with..
Read MoreAbstract Aim To assess the relationship between neonatal brain development and injury with early motor outcomes in infants with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Method Neonatal brain magnetic resonance imaging..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported to be one of the most common complications in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), yet variations in AKI between different..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Forced-diuresis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be associated with significant electrolyte shifts. This study reports on the serum electrolyte changes during balanced forced-diuresis with the RenalGuard® system (RG)..
Read MoreAbstract This study aimed to evaluate intraoperative interruptions by frequency, type, interference and source, and preventive measures. The interruptions in the operating theatre were evaluated for 52 surgical procedures based..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a standard technique for cardiac surgery, but comes with the risk of severe neurological complications (e.g. stroke) caused by embolisms and/or reduced cerebral perfusion. We..
Read MoreAbstract Limited data are available on the use of the prone position in cardiac surgery. Concerns in performing this maneuver in open cardiac surgery due to the risk of post-sternotomy..
Read MoreAbstract Heparin resistance is suspected when more heparin than usual is needed to achieve a therapeutic range of activated partial-thromboplastin time. Management may include increasing the heparin dose, supplementing antithrombin..
Read MoreAbstract Background Recent studies characterizing in vitro hemostatic properties of whole blood (WB) leukoreduced (LR) with a platelet-sparing filter have described subtle, if any, changes to viscoelastic clotting; however, reductions..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated adverse reaction to heparin. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are routinely anticoagulated with heparin before the initiation of bypass...
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass induces a profound inflammatory response that, when severe, can lead to multiorgan system dysfunction. Preliminary data suggest that administration of hydroxyethyl starch (HES)..
Read MoreAbstract Return of circuit blood after discontinuing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important blood conservation strategy for reducing the need for blood transfusion. This follows the current standard of..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Hyperlactacidemia seriously affects the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients. This study was to explore the impact of target blood pressure management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on blood lactate..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aim Perioperative blood transfusion is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a blood conservation strategy associated with variable success, and rarely studied..
