Peripheral tissue oxygenation during standard CPB and miniaturized CPB (direct oxymetric tissue perfusion monitoring study)

Peripheral tissue oxygenation during standard CPB and miniaturized CPB (direct oxymetric tissue perfusion monitoring study).

AIM The aim of this study was to compare the impact of standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with mini CPB on peripheral tissue perfusion. METHODS 24 patients with ischemic heart disease scheduled for CPB were randomised to two groups: Group A (12 patients, standard CPB) and Group B (12 patients, mini CPB). Oxygen tension was measured with an optical multiparametric sensor inserted into the p...

Peripheral Tissue Oxygenation During Standard and Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass (Direct Oxymetric Tissue Perfusion Monitoring Study)

Cerebral protection during CPB

Despite advances in surgical, anesthetic, and neuroprotective strategies, cerebral injury after cardiac surgery remains a significant source of post-operative morbidity and is responsible for an increasing proportion of peri-operative deaths. Technological advancements have allowed cardiac surgery to be performed on a progressively older and sicker population who, in turn, are at increased risk...

CPB Memorandum CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy

This memorandum surveys the empirical literature about the effects and determinants of clusters. It finds that clusters generally lead to more innovations, knowledge spillovers, faster diffusion of technologies and knowledge, and competitive advantages. The presence of a skilled labour force is the most important determinant for clusters. Other important factors for the existence of clusters ar...

Leukocytes influence peripheral tissue oxygenation and perfusion in neonates

Background. Leukocyte counts may influence peripheral (micro) circulation due to changes in rheology. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between leukocyte counts and peripheral tissue oxygenation/perfusion measured with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in term and preterm neonates. Methods. In this observational study we included term and preterm neonates within th...
