Journal ArticleDOI
Thromboelastography-guided transfusion algorithm reduces transfusions in complex cardiac surgery.
Linda Shore-Lesserson,HE Manspeizer,Marietta DePerio,S Francis,Frances Vela-Cantos,M A Ergin +5 more
TL;DR: Point-of-care coagulation monitoring using TEG resulted in fewer transfusions in the postoperative period, and this data support the use of TEG in an algorithm to guide transfusion therapy in complex cardiac surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tranexamic Acid Reduces Transfusions and Mediastinal Drainage in Repeat Cardiac Surgery
TL;DR: TA administered prior to CPB reduced the incidence of allogeneic transfusions and postoperative mediastinal tube drainage, and improved the subjective assessment of post-CPB hemostasis in a group of patients at moderately high risk for perioperative bleeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticoagulation for cardiac surgery in patients receiving preoperative heparin: use of the high-dose thrombin time.
Linda Shore-Lesserson,HE Manspeizer,Maria Bolastig,Donna Harrington,Frances Vela-Cantos,Marietta DePerio +5 more
TL;DR: Current data suggest that heparin resistance is not observed when high-dose thrombin time is used to monitor anticoagulation and that a lower activated clotting time value in these patients may be safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiopulmonary bypass for adult patients: A survey of equipment and techniques
TL;DR: The probable reasons for the increased utilization of membrane oxygenators and arterial line filters include less damage to the formed elements of blood, fewer gaseous microemboli, and better control of carbon dioxide elimination and oxygenation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography to predict atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Linda Shore-Lesserson,David M. Moskowitz,Craig Hametz,David M. Andrews,Tatsuya Yamada,Frances Vela-Cantos,Sabera Hossain,Carol A. Bodian,Ronald J. Lessen,Steven N. Konstadt +9 more
TL;DR: Early identification of patients at risk for postoperative atrial fibrillation may be feasible using the parameters identified in this study.
