Conventional or minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support during coronary artery bypass grafting? – An analysis by means of perfusion and body mass index
Conclusion: Minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support provides efficient perfusion in all BMI ranges and is thus equivalent to conventional circuits.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Artificial Organs)

Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Increased Immune Function of Spleen and Decreased Reactive Oxygen Species During Post ‐Resuscitation
AbstractWe aimed to investigate the effect of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ‐ECMO) on immune function of the spleen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) during post‐resuscitation in a porcine model. After 8 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation and 6 min of basic life support, pigs were randomized into two groups: Group 1 received VA‐ECMO and Group 2 received conve ntional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After successful return of spontaneous circulation, the hemodynamic status was determined and blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h. Surviving pigs were euthanized 6 h after r...

VA ‐ECMO Support in Nonsurgical Patients With Refractory Cardiogenic Shock: Pre‐Implant Outcome Predictors
AbstractRefractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) is associated with a high mortality. Veno ‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) is increasingly used as acute cardiopulmonary support but selection of VA‐ECMO candidates remains challenging. There are limited data on which pre‐VA‐ECMO variables that predict outcome. The aim of this study was to identify pre‐VA‐ ECMO predictors of 90‐day mortality. We retrospectively analyzed 76 consecutive patients (median age 52; interquartile range [IQR]: 37–60) supported with VA‐ECMO due to RCS. The association between pre‐implant variables and all‐caus...
