A retrospective cohort of 200 adults describes normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass guided by indexed flow, cerebral oximetry, and oxygen delivery, with vasopressors reserved for clinical
Brain injury after cardiopulmonary bypass reflects interacting risks from embolism, impaired cerebral perfusion, inflammation, and blood–brain barrier disruption. This narrative review examines monitoring, temperature
A Colombian study of 179 adults undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement found lower modeled costs with Del Nido than Custodiol cardioplegia. Thirty-day survival was
A scoping review maps 20 comparative studies of ECMO–RRT configurations. Findings on filter life, pressure alarms, and delivered therapy remain heterogeneous, with no consistently
A matched observational study compares heparin plus antithrombin with bivalirudin in adult ECMO, highlighting associations and important limitations.
A survey of 71 European centers reveals wide variation in neonatal CPB prime volumes, blood-product resources, and coagulation-management practices.
An editorial explores how the MAMBO framework could connect precision perfusion, AI-assisted decision support, and sustainable workflows.
A spreadsheet model estimates albumin dilution during cardiopulmonary bypass, offering a physiologic framework that still requires clinical validation.
