This study investigates the impact of sex on systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and outcomes after cardiac surgery. Analyzing 1,005 patients, researchers found that
This study compares Buckberg (BS) and Del Nido (DNS) cardioplegia in isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) through a two-center randomized trial with 311 patients.
VA-ECMO provides critical cardiopulmonary support but increases left ventricular afterload, potentially leading to left ventricular distension (LVD). This literature review explores various clinical, hemodynamic,
This study focuses on developing and validating a checklist for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to enhance patient safety and reduce adverse events. Using the Delphi
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 examines the effect of a protamine test dose (PTD) on activated clotting times (ACTs) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit integrity in 120
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
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 examines risk factors affecting survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
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
The 2024 EACTS/EACTAIC/EBCP guidelines provide updated, evidence-based recommendations for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adult cardiac surgery. They cover advancements in perfusion strategies, organ protection,
