This study investigates the relationship between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and inflammatory factors in pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with pulmonary arterial
Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a severe circulatory condition occurring post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), affecting up to 44% of high-risk patients with mortality rates reaching 50%.
This study investigates whether on-pump FIBTEM-A5 values measured during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) accurately predict post-protamine administration values. Conducted at a single cardiac center, the
This randomized clinical trial examined whether nitric oxide (NO) administered during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) improves neurodevelopmental and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes in
This editorial explores the evolution of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in perioperative cardiac care. It discusses advancements in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and
