In on-pump cardiac surgery, a network meta-analysis revealed that crystalloid priming strategies are associated with fewer perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions compared to
The study investigated the use of procoagulant factors during heart transplants in Virginia and their potential link to postoperative thrombosis. It found a decrease
This study on elderly patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) found a high incidence (56.82%) of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), identifying low serum albumin levels,
This review evaluates the use of Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as strategies to stabilize patients with post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR)
This study developed a formula for tailored oxygen therapy during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to prevent cellular hypoxia and minimize the risk of hyperoxemia. In
In a study on children undergoing cardiac surgery, remote ischemic preconditioning showed a potential for reducing kidney injury, but there were no significant differences
This study tested if phosphocreatine (PCr) reduces troponin I levels in cardiac surgery patients with prolonged aortic clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass. Although PCr was
The study describes a simulated cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model integrated into a mock operative theater, aiming to enhance the training of novice perfusionists. Results
This study investigated the relationship between plasma free hemoglobin levels and changes in urine color in cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. It found
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
Postoperative delirium (POD) following cardiac surgery, potentially influenced by cardiopulmonary bypass, is linked to increased morbidity and mortality despite understanding its causative factors and
