This study analyzed 677 patients to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and
This meta-analysis investigated the effect of perioperative antithrombin (AT) supplementation on patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery, analyzing 13 randomized controlled trials with 996
This study investigates the use of forward scattered light (FSL) measurements for early blood clot detection in extracorporeal membrane oxygenators, a method potentially superior
This technical report details methods for performing dialytic therapies, such as intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), safely and effectively through
While most infectious endocarditis cases are managed medically, non-responsive patients or those with complications like septic emboli may need mechanical interventions such as AngioVac,
The study investigated reducing the protamine-to-heparin ratio (P-to-H) from 1:1 to 0.9:1 and 0.8:1 in cardiac surgery patients to determine its effect on post-operative
The AngioVac aspiration thrombectomy device, approved for removing thrombi during bypass, has been reported to commonly fail due to physical damage and is associated
This study compared two plasmapheresis techniques, membrane-based (MP) and centrifuge-based (CP), for their effectiveness in reducing isohemagglutinin titers (IT) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)
This study investigates the adsorption of propofol in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits, noting that drugs prescribed to ECMO patients often lack optimized dosing
This study investigates the application of the cerebral oxygenation index (COx) in monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries. Despite the
Platelet count reduction (PR) is a common but unclear phenomenon that occurs after aortic bioprosthesis valve implantation (bio-AVR). This study aimed to investigate the
Exploring techniques like multimodal intravenous anesthesia guided by electroencephalogram can enhance perfusion maintenance within the auto-regulatory range. By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion
