Simplified System for Blood Cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1983
Abstract A simplified delivery system for blood cardioplegia is described. The system delivers cold blood cardioplegic solution at 6° to 14°C and a hematocrit of 11 to 17%. The setup is inexpensive and easy to assemble, and can be utilized with available equipment.

Blood cardioplegia: A review and comparison with crystalloid cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
The Oxford International Symposium on myocardial preservation provided an appropriate milestone and impetus to survey one aspect of operative myocardial preservation, namely blood cardioplegia, and to contrast it with the more popular crystalloid cardioplegia.

The safety of intermittent warm blood cardioplegia

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1994
Continuous warm blood cardioplegia is considered to be an effective method for myocardial protection. However, frequently the flow of the cardioplegia needs to be interrupted for better visualization. Intermittent warm blood cardioplegia was reported to be safe by some investigators.

Cold and Warm Blood Cardioplegia

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1993
The present review concerns modern operative myocardial management strategies utilizing cold and warm blood cardioplegia. Both biological and surgical rationales toward providing optimal operative conditions in which to conduct complicated procedures are discussed.

A COMPARISON OF HEAT EXCHANGERS FOR BLOOD CARDIOPLEGIA

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1989
During open heart surgery, myocardial protection provided by oxygenated blood‐based cardioplegia is superior to that provided by non‐oxygenated crystalloid cardioplegia. However, the widespread use of blood cardioplegia has been limited by the cost and complexity of the associated cooling and delivery systems.

Experimental evaluation of secondary blood cardioplegia

Journal of Surgical Research, 1983
Reperfusion damage after ischemia may be evidenced by myocardial cell edema, intracellular calcium accumulation, and limited utilization of oxygen. The need for cardioplegic arrest during initial reperfusion to allow oxygen to be used for reversing ischemic damage rather than for electromechanical activity has been propounded by some researchers ...

Cold Blood as the Vehicle for Potassium Cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979
Cold blood with potassium, 34 mEq/L, was compared with cold blood and with a cardioplegic solution. Three groups of 6 dogs had 2 hours of aortic cross-clamp while on total bypass at 28 degrees C with the left ventricle vented. An initial 5-minute coronary perfusion was followed by 2 minutes of perfusion every 15 minutes for the cardioplegic solution (8

Intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
Intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia has been used routinely at our institution over the last 3 years. We report here a comparison between the first 250 consecutive patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting in which intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia was used (group A) and the last 250 consecutive patients who ...

A Simple System to Deliver Blood Cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005
We describe a simple and inexpensive system designed to deliver blood cardioplegia either diluted or at the patient's hematocrit, with controlled temperature and additive concentration. This system can be applied to any pump set, and suits any strategy for clinical myocardial preservation.

Fluosol cardioplegia results in complete functional recovery: A comparison with blood cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
Blood cardioplegia is considered by many to be the preferred solution for myocardial protection. Proposed benefits include the ability to deliver oxygen and the ability to maintain metabolic substrate stores. However, the decreased capacity of blood to release oxygen at hypothermic conditions as well as the presence of deleterious leukocytes, platelets,
