Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has evolved into a life-saving therapy for select cardiac arrest patients, yet a growing body of evidence suggests it also holds promise as a bridge..

Abstract Introduction Limb loss after combat injury is a major factor for morbidity in combat casualties. Although tourniquets clearly save lives, they can result in prolonged ischemia in large scale..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supports patients with severe refractory cardiac or respiratory failure but managing residual circuit blood after weaning lacks consensus. After decannulation, the oxygenator and circuit retain..

Abstract Cardiac surgery, particularly procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, including systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), and infection...

Abstract Purpose Oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is critical in preventing postoperative complications in adult cardiac surgery. This systematic review aimed to assess the relationship between intraoperative DO2 during..

Abstract The demand for homologous blood transfusions has reached an unprecedented level, driven by a declining donor population and the ever-increasing need for blood products. While significant advancements have been..

Abstract Decisions regarding veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are often based solely on clinical and physiological parameters, which may insufficiently reflect severity..

Abstract Background Maintaining adequate oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted cardiac surgery is crucial, but hyperoxia has been suggested to cause organ injury. We compared the effects of restrictive vs liberal oxygenation..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Major bleeding after cardiac surgery is still a relatively common complication, requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and use of procoagulants. The existing guidelines recommend a bleeding management..
