Read MoreAbstract In patients with Fontan palliation, the systemic and pulmonary circulation is in series and supported by a single ventricle, resulting in fragile hemodynamics. Cardiac output is driven by low..
Read MoreAbstract The vast majority of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) in high-income countries survive into adulthood. Further, paediatric cardiac services have expanded in middle-income countries. Both evolutions have resulted..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used with increasing frequency to support patients with acute respiratory failure, most commonly, and severe forms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The..
Read MoreAbstract In SARS-CoV-2 patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (V-V ECMO) was shown to provide valuable treatment with reasonable survival in large multi-centre investigations...
Read MoreAbstract Aim To determine whether targeting a mean arterial pressure of 90 mmHg (MAP90) would yield improved cerebral blood flow and less ischaemia compared to MAP 60 mmHg (MAP60) with..

Read MoreAbstract Successful management of Cesarean Delivery complicated by emergent CPB and AVR requires meticulous multidisciplinary planning. This case also represents the volatility that can arise from severe aortic regurgitation during..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review The collection of shed blood and its reinfusion has been termed ‘cell salvage’ or ‘autotransfusion’. This review will summarize the historical foundation of cell salvage and summarize recent..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: This studywas designed to optimize the latestgeneration venovenous (vv)-extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)-circuit configuration andsettings based on the evaluation ofblood oxygenation and CO 2 removaldeterminants in patients with severeacute respiratory..
Read MoreAbstract Highlights • Hemolysis due to CPB leads to an increase of serum free Hemoglobin(fHb) level. • Increase of serum fHb level had an independent association with postoperative AKI. •..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgeries are high risk procedures that require specialized care and access to these procedures is often limited in resource-poor countries. Although fatalities for surgical patients across Africa..
Read MoreAbstract Background Recently adopted mini-thoracotomy approach for surgical aortic valve replacement has shown benefits such as reduced pain and shorter recovery, compared to more conventional mini-sternotomy access. However, whether limited..
Read MoreBlood transfusion is a critical and life-saving facet of the care for cardiothoracic surgery patients. Inherent to the transfusing of blood is the understanding of the preservation of blood as..
Read MoreAbstract To the editor, Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) is a non-drug blood protection method to reduce blood dilution by lowering the amount of crystal liquid priming., , But there is no unified..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: To compare current practices within the United States of anticoagulation management and blood transfusion in neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients with a 2013 international report. DESIGN: ..
Read MoreAbstract Patients with inherited anemia and hemoglobinopathies (such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia) are treated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusions to alleviate their symptoms. Some of these patients..
Read MoreAbstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiac surgery is reported with a widely variable incidence (from 0.4%-8.1%). Cardiac surgery patients usually are affected by several comorbidities, and the development..
