This prospective clinical study evaluates the impact of intraoperative cell-salvaged blood transfusion (SBT) on long-term clinical outcomes in metastatic spine tumour surgery (MSTS). Comparing
This review examines microvascular dysfunction following cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass (CP/CPB), with a focus on diabetes and hypertension. It explores endothelial and vasomotor
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the impact of intraoperative fluid volume on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in thoracic surgeries. Analyzing 11 studies, the
This review explores recent advancements in anesthetic drugs for cardiac surgery. With no standard protocol for anesthesia in these procedures, the article examines commonly
This study evaluates the role of continuous monitoring of venous drainage flow and oxygen extraction (ERiO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in cerebral perfusion during
This case study explores a neonate with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who experienced a lethal myocardial infarction (MI) while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
This study compares centrifugation (CF) and multiple-pass hemoconcentration (MPH) for salvaging residual blood after cardiopulmonary bypass. A randomized trial with 61 patients found that
This study evaluates three blood conservation techniques—online modified ultrafiltration (MUF), off-line MUF, and centrifugation—following cardiopulmonary bypass. A cohort of 99 patients was analyzed for
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%.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving intervention used for critically ill patients, yet it is frequently associated with high incidences of kidney injury.
This study examines risk factors affecting survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
