Pulmonary artery catheters or central venous catheters for cardiac surgery: the PUMA Pilot randomised clinical trial

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Pulmonary artery catheters are used widely in cardiac surgery despite observed associations with worse outcomes and guidelines that recommend against their routine use. No adequately powered randomised trials are available. Methods The PUMA Pilot was a multicentre, randomised, parallel assignment, open‐label, pilot and feasibility ...

When Urgency Drops: Temporal Consciousness and the Choreography of Dying

Anthropology 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 ...

Device‐Induced Blood Damage in Pump‐Assisted Circulation: A Comparative Study of HeartMate III and BrioVAD Pumps

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Shear‐induced blood damage—including hemolysis, platelet and neutrophil injury, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) degradation—was evaluated for the BrioVAD and HM3 using an in vitro circulatory loop under clinically relevant conditions. Across 15 biomarkers (n > 6 per group), no significant differences were observed between the two devices.

The Role of Patients' Treatment Expectations in Ventricular Assist Device Support: Results From a Convergent Mixed Methods Study

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This mixed methods study aimed to: (i) identify treatment expectations held by individuals with a ventricular assist device (VAD), (ii) assess the extent to which these expectations have been met, and (iii) examine how treatment expectations relate to VAD‐specific health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) ABSTRACT Objectives Treatment expectations ...

Shaping the Flow: Impact of Blade Shape on Performance and Hemocompatibility in Rotodynamic Blood Pumps

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Blade shapes (leading‐edge geometry and thickness) in rotodynamic blood pumps were systematically evaluated. Thinner blades improve pump efficiency by reducing blockage effects, while neither blade thickness nor leading‐edge geometry shows clear hemocompatibility benefits. Overall, blade shape has a limited impact on hemocompatibility, indicating it is
