Cardiopulmonary bypass is known to trigger a global inflammatory response. Age-
dependent differences in the inflammatory response, the increased susceptibility to injury of …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly used technology for
mechanical support of respiratory and cardio-circulatory failure. Excessive systemic …

Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery initiates a systemic inflammatory
response, which is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Hemoadsorption …

Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to cause part of the systemic
inflammatory reaction after cardiac surgery that can be responsible for organ failure. A novel …

Objective To test the hypothesis that postoperative length of stay (LOS) after infant heart
surgery might be an easily measured surrogate marker for various events that culminate in …

Aims: To evaluate whether procalcitonin (PCT) and C reactive protein (CRP) are able to
discriminate between sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in …

BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces a systemic inflammatory
response. The magnitude and consequences in infants remain unclear. We assessed the …

Rationale: Various in vitro, animal, and limited human adult studies suggest a profound
inhibitory effect of inflammation and disease on cytochrome P-450 3A (CYP3A)-mediated …

BACKGROUND:: Novel treatment strategies are required to reduce the development of
acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this respect, remote …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between surgery in very preterm infants and
brain structure at term equivalent and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcome. STUDY …
