Methylene blue for postcardiopulmonary bypass vasoplegic syndrome: A cohort study
Background: Methylene blue (MB) has been used to treat refractory hypotension in a variety of settings. Aims: We sought to determine whether MB improved blood pressure in postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) vasoplegic syndrome (VS) in a complex cardiac ...

Continuous cerebral hemodynamic measurement during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
While survival of children with complex congenital heart defects has improved in recent years, roughly half suffer neurological deficits suspected to be related to cerebral ischemia. Here we report the first demonstration of optical diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) for continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cerebral microvascular blood flow ...

Differentiating Creatine and Phosphocreatine In Vivo Using 3 T 1H MR Spectroscopy
ABSTRACT Purpose Validation and improvements to the proton MR spectroscopic measurement of creatine and phosphocreatine in vivo at 3 T. Methods Spectral simulations were used to evaluate and explore the mitigation of LCModel fitting bias due to lineshape, signal‐to‐noise (SNR) and non‐metabolite backgrounds with a focus on phosphocreatine and the ...

ABSTRACT Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH); however, decompensated right heart failure and concomitant cardiac procedures increase the risk of postoperative mortality. We report a case of operable CTEPH with severe mitral regurgitation causing right heart failure

Rewarming for accidental hypothermia in an urban medical center using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
