Extracorporeal Circulation and Optic Nerve Ultrasound: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an extracorporeal circuit that provides surgical access to an immobile and bloodless area, allowing for technical and procedural advances in cardiothoracic surgery. CBP can alter the integrity of

Extracorporeal Circulation-Related Immune Response [PDF]
Forms of extracorporeal circulation are increasingly used to support critically ill patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) are two of the most widely used and are employed as bridges to recovery or as ...

Bilateral Extracorporeal Circulation (“Drew Technique”) for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery using Patient’s Lung as Oxygenator [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine: 1) whether a bilateral perfusion circuit (Drew technique) using the patient's own lung as the oxygenator is feasible for multi-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting; and 2) if the systemic inflammatory response to
