The use of surface modified, biocompatible tubing in cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported to decrease the inflammatory responses caused by blood contact with the non endothelial surface of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) tubing. The combination of advances in biocompatible tubing and increased affordability resulted in a change to our cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, with the Terumo Capiox SX25 ox...

Background. Innovative advances in cardiac surgery to reduce the negative impact of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) require a comprehensive solution. The ultimate questions present interest remain prevention hypoxia, composition priming volume oxygenator, state erythrocytes and their energy potential, level hemolysis, pathogenetic approach correction electrolytes during perfusion, as well biocompa...

Despite the formation of biofilms on catheters for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), some patients do not show bacteremia. To elucidate specific linkage between and bacteremia in with ECMO, an improved understanding microbial community within catheter is necessary. Hence, we aimed to evaluate biofilm microbiome ECMO from adults (n = 6) without 15) The microbiomes were evaluated by pro...
