Heparin-level-based anticoagulation management during cardiopulmonary bypass: a pilot investigation on the effects of a half-dose aprotinin protocol on postoperative blood loss and hemostatic activation and inflammatory response.
Koster et al describe the use of a half-dose aprotinin protocol and the influence on postoperative blood loss. The second endpoint of this investigation was a bunch of several hemostatic […]
Clinical application of vacuum-assisted cardiopulmonary bypass with a pressure relief valve.
Hayashi and colleagues have studied the value of a vacuum-assisted cardiopulmonary bypass system in simplifying bypass while reducing the volume of fluid needed for pump priming. They were successful in […]
