Read MoreMaquet’s heater-cooler unit HCU 40 is another current example of this innovation. Combining proven temperaturecontrol technology with outstanding performance and unique usability, the HCU 40 provides benefits for both the..
Read MoreHeater-cooler devices control the patient’s blood temperature during extracorporeal perfusion. They are non-sterile devices used in the operating room outside the sterile fi eld. They have never been considered sterile..
Read MoreAbstract Summary To date, data regarding the efficacy and safety of administering fibrinogen concentrate in cardiac surgery are limited. Studies are limited by their low sample size and large heterogeneity..
Read MoreAbstract Background support (ECMO) typically requires multiple and is associated with frequent bleeding complications. Blood transfusions are known to increase morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients, which may extend to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: We have been developing a closed-circuit cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system (“Dihead CPB”) for application during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery. To strive for minimal hemolysis..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Renal failure is a common occurrence in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock including those supported with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Prevalence and outcome of acute and chronic kidney..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Neonates are at high risk of bleeding after open-heart surgery. We sought to determine pre-operative and intra-operative risk factors for increased bleeding after neonatal open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary..
Read MoreAbstract Thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction induced by extracorporeal blood circulation are thought to contribute to postsurgical bleeding complications in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this study,..
Read MoreAbstract Background The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on renal function is controversial in critical illness. We performed a systematic meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to determine the effect of..
Read MoreAbstract We report the case of a 47 year old male who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome after bariatric surgery, requiring a venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. An inadequate extracorporeal membrane..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives During cardiac surgery, circulating red blood cells (RBCs) are at risk of exposure to environmental factors during and transfusion of stored RBCs. For this study, the authors observed morphological..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Magnesium is often used to supplement cardioplegic solutions during cardiopulmonary bypass due to its cardioprotective effect during ischemia and reperfusion. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To conduct a pilot feasibility and physiologic efficacy study of high-dose vitamin C in patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery. Design Prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. Setting Two..
Read MoreAbstract Background Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer and potassium channel opener, has been demonstrated to improve myocardial function without increasing oxygen consumption and to show protective effects in other organs. Recently,..
Read MoreAbstract Tranexamic acid reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements with no significant thrombotic adverse effects. Postoperative seizures have been seen in cardiac surgical patients in association with patient (advanced age,..
Read MoreAbstract Since 2011, invasive infections due to Mycobacterium chimaera have been diagnosed in patients with previous cardiac surgery. The use of heating/cooling devices (heater–cooler units), necessary to regulate the blood temperature in..
Read MoreAbstract Aim: The ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) Program at the American University of Beirut Medical Center was established in November 2015 as the first program serving adult and pediatric population..
Read MoreAbstract Mechanical support devices have revolutionized the management of circulatory failure. This has been met by a dramatic increase in ventricular assist device (VAD) utilization in children over the last..
Read MoreAbstract Leukocyte (LE) activation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) promotes a systemic inflammatory response that contributes to organ injury and postoperative organ dysfunction. A leukocyte modulatory device (L-MOD) for use during..
Read MoreAbstract There are no recommended guidelines for monitoring parameters during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). We evaluated whether regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) could be a monitoring parameter for mortality during..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Genetic polymorphisms are important in explaining the wide interpatient variability that exists in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) post cardiac surgery. We hypothesised that polymorphisms in..
Read MoreAbstract Summary Few studies have investigated if, and how, red cell transfusion and anaemia interact. We analysed 60,955 admissions to three metropolitan hospitals in Western Australia between 2008 and 2017..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal may be used to manage hypercapnia, but compared to dialysis, it’s not widely available. A recent in vitro study showed that dialysis with low bicarbonate dialysates..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: The upcoming release of aprotinin in paediatric cardiac surgery prompted a re-evaluation of its use in comparison to tranexamic acid (TXA) focusing on their effect on exposure to..
Read MoreAbstract Background (MP) has been reported as a possibly method to rescue discarded organs. The main aim of this study was to report an initial experience in Spain using MP..
