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 ...

Measuring Propidium Iodide Brightness as a Function of Viability: A High‐Throughput Quantitative Assessment of Hepatic Spheroids

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates our rapid PI‐based spheroid viability assay: hepatocyte spheroids are formed and stained with AO/PI, imaged after a 15‐min incubation, and analyzed for PI brightness normalized to area. This metric correlates strongly with functional urea/DNA output, validating PI intensity as a fast, reliable indicator of spheroid ...

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 ...

When Technology Falters: Ensuring Donor Safety and System Reliability Amid Apheresis Technical Challenges

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study reviews three adverse events during single donor platelet collection using root cause analysis. Causes included human error, equipment defects, and procedural lapses. Though all donors fully recovered, the incidents underscore the need for strict SOP adherence, staff training, and donor safety to maintain trust and donation retention.

Pediatric Versus Adult Shear‐Induced Hemolysis—Are Age‐Related Blood Properties the Main Cause for Differences?

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of the experimental comparison of shear‐induced hemolysis in pediatric and adult blood using a Couette shearing device. Pediatric blood shows a trend toward lower increase in hemolysis at higher shear stress amplitudes, while no relevant differences are observed at low and intermediate stresses.
