Abstract Misalignment of measures, measurement and analysis with the goals and methods of quality improvement efforts in healthcare may create confusion and decrease effectiveness. In healthcare, measurement is used for..
Read MoreAbstract Patient blood management (PBM) has been proposed as a standard of care in modern . PBM-related interventions usually are implemented as bundles, but randomized controlled trials on the implementation of..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) plays an important role in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Management of thrombi in ECMO is generally an important issue; especially in ECMO for..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a resource-intense modality of care whose use has grown exponentially. We examined volume and utilization trends to identify the financial break-even point that..
Read MoreAbstract Clinical guidelines play an increasingly important role in care of patients with cardiovascular disease. Approaches to guideline development reflect the need to integrate a complex and ever-expanding evidence base..
Read MoreAbstract Various anticoagulant properties have been associated with hydroxyethyl starch (HES). However, the mechanism remains unclear and it has not been fully considered whether these properties are beyond the dilutional..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Vasoplegia denotes a state of low tissue perfusion characterized by hypotension, tachycardia, and low systemic vascular resistance. This state results in increased mortality and morbidity following cardiac surgery...
Read MoreAbstract Our current understanding of flow through the circuit of left ventricular assist device (LVAD), left ventricle and ascending aorta remains incompletely understood. Computational fluid dynamics, which allow for analysis..
Read MoreAbstract Prone position quickly imposed as a cornerstone in the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [, ]. The response to prone..
Read MoreAbstract Background Approximately 20% to 30% of patients awaiting cardiac surgery are anemic. Anemia increases the likelihood of requiring a red cell transfusion and is associated with increased complications, intensive care,..

Read MoreMinimally Invasive Mitral Valve surgery is an excellent technique to correct a problem with the valve that removes the risks associated with sternotomy. However, the technique continues to require manipulation..
Read MoreContinuing Education Activity This activity provides an in-depth description of the significance of medical error in the practice of medicine. It also highlights a number of important aspects in..
Read MoreAbstract Cytokine hemoadsorption might be beneficial in patients with sepsis. However, its effect on anti-infective agents' disposition remains largely unknown. We sought to determine the influence of hemoadsorption on the..
Read MoreSummary There are no data evaluating the microbiome in congenital heart disease following cardiopulmonary bypass. The authors evaluated patients with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and noncardiac patients undergoing..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) represents a clinical condition with poor prognosis. The incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients was about 22–57%. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) are particularly..
Read MoreAbstract Emerging evidence suggests surgical outcomes of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery that refuse autologous transfusion is comparable to those who accept whole blood product transfusions. There are several methods that..
Read MoreAbstract Autotransfusion refers to a blood transfusion method in which the blood or blood components of the patient are collected under certain conditions, returned to himself when the patient needs..
Read MoreAbstract Background The latest basic studies and clinical evidence have confirmed the safety and efficacy of intraoperative autologous blood cell transfusion in cardiac surgery and orthopaedics. However, in caesarean section,..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: During the early postoperative period, children with congenital heart disease can suffer from inadequate cerebral perfusion, with possible long-term neurocognitive consequences. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation can be monitored..
Read MoreAbstract Summary The antiplatelet agent ticagrelor has recently been found to have bactericidal activity, demonstrated in vitro and in an in vivo mouse model, which warrants further clinical investigations. The aim of..
Read MoreAbstract This review highlights vital details that can be easily overlooked and discuss how to identify and fix failed cannulation from another novel insight. Appropriate arterial cannulation strategy during cardiopulmonary..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Optimal selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) management for neonatal aortic arch surgery has not been extensively studied. We induced mild hypothermia during SCP and used the tissue oxygenation monitor..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life-sustaining therapy for severe respiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits require systemic anticoagulation that creates a delicate balance between circuit-related thrombosis and bleeding-related..
Read MoreAbstract Background The prevalence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) varies by population and the type and duration of exposure; however, the association with unfractionated heparin (UFH) dose, route, timing, and duration has..

Read MoreAbstract Background Weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is not well studied. VV-ECMO can be discontinued when patients tolerate non-injurious mechanical ventilation (MV) during a sweep gas off trial..
Read MoreAbstract Prior to COVID-19, a large international cohort study estimated that acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) accounts for 10% of all admissions to the ICU and almost a quarter of..
