Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation [PDF]

, 2019
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a method of resuscitation in which venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) is initiated during refractory cardiac arrest. ECPR promises to enhance outcomes after cardiac arrest by

Flow competition between hepatic arterial and portal venous flow during hypothermic machine perfusion preservation of porcine livers [PDF]

, 2012
Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is regarded as a better preservation method for donor livers than cold storage. During HMP, livers are perfused through the inlet blood vessels, namely the hepatic artery (HA) and the portal vein (PO.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.

Relationship between Sustained Reductions in Plasma Lipid and Lipoprotein Concentrations with Apheresis and Plasma Levels and mRNA Expression of PTX3 and Plasma Levels of hsCRP in Patients with HyperLp(a)lipoproteinemia [PDF]

, 2016
The effect of lipoprotein apheresis (Direct Adsorption of Lipids, DALI) (LA) on plasma levels of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), an inflammatory marker that reflects coronary plaque vulnerability, and expression of PTX3 mRNA was evaluated in patients with hyperLp(a ...

Comparative Analysis of Pressure Drop (Δp): Hemodynamic Performance of Three Commercial Oxygenators During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this prospective study, a total of 60 patients were divided into three groups of 20 to compare the pressure drop (Δp) across three different oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this comparison was to enable evidence‐based optimization of the heart‐lung machine setup in order to minimize potential influencing factors and thereby ...

The 1(st) and the 2(nd) Italian Consensus Conferences on low-density lipoprotein-apheresis. A practical synopsis and update [PDF]

, 2016
The clinical indications and guidelines for low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis set by the 1(st) Italian Consensus Conference held in Ostuni in 1990 and completed in 1992, but never published, are reported schematically.

Plasma Adsorption Perfusion (BR‐350) Versus Open Albumin Dialysis (OPAL) for Hyperbilirubinemia in Hepatic Failure in Cirrhotic Patients

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The therapy with PAP using BR‐350 resulted in a significant decrease of bilirubin concentrations. The median relative reduction of bilirubin was comparable between PAP and OPAL (47% vs. 40%, p = 0.29). The crossover comparison between the single session of PAP using BR‐350 and OPAL revealed similar relative reduction rates of bilirubin.

Volatile organic compound profiles in outlet air from extracorporeal life-support devices differ from breath profiles in critically ill patients

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Introduction It is highly uncertain whether volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath of critically ill intensive care unit patients are formed in the lung locally, in the air compartment or lung tissue, or elsewhere in the body and transported
