torial [2, 4]. Perioperative bleeding is related to surgical damage to blood vessels and defects in haemostatic mechanisms. The majority of haemostatic defects are related to the exposure of blood elements to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit [2, 4]. Excessive administration of protamine is a proposed mechanism of bleeding [2]. It has been proved that CBP causes a reduction in the levels of co...

Re-exploration for bleeding or tamponade after cardiac operation.

The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of patients who had a chest resternotomy and to identify risk factors for higher in-hospital mortality after re-exploration for bleeding and/or tamponade after cardiac operations. We present our experience of an acceptably low re-exploration rate after cardiac surgery, and the outcomes of those re-explored. This was a retrospective analysis of ...

Re-exploration for bleeding after coronary artery bypass grafting: what is the acceptable range of re-exploration rate?

P-121: Which Developmental Stage is Suitable for Re-vitrification? Compact Stage Re-vitrification or Early Blastocyst Stage Re-vitrification

Background: The aim of this study was evaluation of developmental rate and Bax, Bcl-2 and ErbB4 genes expression following re-vitrification in compact and early blastocysts stages. Materials and Methods: 5-8 cell embryos were collected from female mature mice, 60-62 hours post hCG injection. The embryos were divided to five groups including: fresh, vitrified at 5-8 cells, vitrified at blastocys...
