The study investigated reducing the protamine-to-heparin ratio (P-to-H) from 1:1 to 0.9:1 and 0.8:1 in cardiac surgery patients to determine its effect on post-operative
This study explores urinary collectrin as a potential biomarker for early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary
Longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times were associated with increased ICU and in-hospital mortality, as well as longer ICU stays, in patients who developed acute
A study developed an ultrafiltration membrane method to measure colloid osmotic pressure (COP) and compared it with colloidal osmometer measurements, finding high accuracy, reproducibility,
Pre-bypass Ultrafiltration (PBUF) was found to standardize and make more physiologic the values for electrolytes, glucose, and lactate in blood primes used for cardiopulmonary
This study compared two plasmapheresis techniques, membrane-based (MP) and centrifuge-based (CP), for their effectiveness in reducing isohemagglutinin titers (IT) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)
This study investigates the application of the cerebral oxygenation index (COx) in monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries. Despite the
Platelet count reduction (PR) is a common but unclear phenomenon that occurs after aortic bioprosthesis valve implantation (bio-AVR). This study aimed to investigate the
Exploring techniques like multimodal intravenous anesthesia guided by electroencephalogram can enhance perfusion maintenance within the auto-regulatory range. By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion
Cerebral microhemorrhages (CMH) are frequently seen after neonatal bypass heart surgery, but it remains unknown if CMH are a benign finding or constitute injury.
We aimed to determine if using PBUF on blood primes including packed red blood cells and thawed plasma would make prime values more predictable
By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion targets on CPB, we can improve outcomes and enhance patient care.
