BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines reflect published literature. Because of the ever
changing literature base, it is necessary to update and revise guideline recommendations …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used in adults
following failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiac surgery or in cases of …

Neuropsychological injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is one of the most serious
and costly complications arising from the procedure. Gaseous microemboli (GME) have long …

Improvements in peri‐and postoperative surgical techniques have greatly improved
outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the treatment …

Gaseous microemboli (GME) remain a challenge for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
because there is a positive correlation between microemboli exposure during CPB and …

The use of minimized extracorporeal circuits (MECC) in cardiac surgery is expanding. These
circuits eliminate volume storage and bubble trap reservoirs to minimize the circuit …

Objectives: This study was undertaken to estimate the incidence and burden of cerebral
microhemorrhage (CM) in patients with heart disease who underwent cardiopulmonary …

OBJECTIVES Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has a risk of embolic injury with an important
role of gaseous micro-bubbles (GMBs), coming from CPB-circuit. Pulsatile perfusion (PP) …

Gaseous embolism is still a concern in cardiopulmonary bypass, and the use of arterial line
filters (ALFs) is widespread because of their recognized role in increasing safety. Currently …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be a potential cause of morbidity in patients for several
reasons, including significantly higher gaseous microemboli (GME) formation than …
