When Urgency Drops: Temporal Consciousness and the Choreography of Dying

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the hospital, the transition from fighting for life to preparing for death involves not only a shift in medical repertoires but also a profound transformation in temporal experience. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Canadian intensive care unit, this article examines how the tempo of care, its rhythms, urgencies, and pauses shapes ...

Optimizing Prolonged (6 h) Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys (PROPER Study)

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Prolonged ex situ normothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys up to 6 h is feasible, maintaining viability and histological integrity. Key protocol optimizations include fresh red blood cells, albumin supplementation, and urine recirculation—laying the groundwork for assessment and potential pretransplant interventions in future clinical trials ...

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

open access: yesArtificial 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 ...

Outcomes in Patients Requiring VENO‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Cardiac Surgery: An Analysis From the PELS‐1 Study

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We report an insight from the PELS‐1– a multicentre, international registry focusing on postocardiotomy extracorporeal support use between 2000 and 2020. We focused on 24/2163 (1.1%) patients requiring V‐V ECMO after cardiac surgery. Mortality was high, with 21.7% of patients discharged alive and an overall 1‐year survival probability of 12.5 ...

Evaluation of a Rat Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model Using an Extraluminal Flow Oxygenator

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A rat cardiopulmonary bypass model was constructed incorporating the developed extraluminal flow oxygenator and compared with a commercial intraluminal flow oxygenator. Both oxygenators demonstrated comparable gas exchange performance and inflammatory responses; however, the one developed in this study better preserved PLT counts.

Multimodal Assessment of Kidney Quality During 24‐h of Normothermic Machine Perfusion

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as a promising tool for assessing kidney quality prior to transplantation; however, reliable biomarkers remain to be established. In this study, thirteen porcine kidneys were perfused for 24 h using an autologous leukocyte‐filtered whole blood‐based perfusate applying urine recirculation.
