Mirage is designed for all ambient adventures, from adding some everyday space to soundscape design and shoegaze reveries – ...

Cannula performance was evaluated in terms of pressure drop vs. flow during simulated cardiopulmonary bypass conditions. The experimental circuits consisted of a Jostra HL-20 roller pump, a Quadrox-i ...

Poly(2-methoxyethylacrylate)-PMEA theoretically reduces protein and platelet adsorption. 55 patients undergoing three-vessel coronary artery bypass were operated with PMEA coated and uncoated ...

The effect of andexanet in vitro was determined using activated clotting times and thromboelastography. Ex vivo cardiopulmonary bypass circuits were used to determine whether andexanet impaired ...

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) initiates an intense inflammatory response due to various factors: conversion from pulsatile to laminar flow, cold cardioplegia, surgical trauma, endotoxemia, ...

Surface-bound heparin in circuits used for extracorporeal circulation increases thromboresistance, allowing reduced systemic heparinization during CPB. 123 Reduced intravenous heparin in combination ...

1 Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and is associated with increased mortality and ...

Abstract Objective: Hemodilution is a concern in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Using a smaller dual tubing rather than a single larger inner diameter (ID) tubing in the venous limb to decrease prime ...

The boss of CPB Sport, Paul Bizalion, was kind enough to share with us the current situation of his team and how he envisages the course of a season that promises to be very disturbed by the Covid-19 ...
