Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary clinical experience with isotonic hypothermic potassium-induced arrest.
G. Frank O. Tyers,Norman James Manley,Edward H. Williams,Carolyn W. Shaffer,Dennis R. Williams,Mark Kurusz +5 more
TL;DR: The modalities of 25 mEq.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticoagulation practices during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: survey results
TL;DR: There appears to be no consensus regarding commitment to a QC programme among active ECMO centres in the USA, and four out of five respondents reported that heparin dosages were dictated strictly by ACT results, and 63% will temporarily stopHeparin administration for highACT results, bleeding and/or surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bubbles and bypass: an update.
Mark Kurusz,Bruce D Butler +1 more
TL;DR: While detectable levels of gaseous microemboli (GME) have decreased significantly in recent years and gross air embolism has been nearly eliminated, methods of use of current perfusion systems continue to elicit concerns over how best to totally eliminate GME during open-heart procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved left ventricular unloading and circulatory support with synchronized pulsatile left ventricular assistance compared with continuous-flow left ventricular assistance in an acute porcine left ventricular failure model
George V. Letsou,Thomas D. Pate,Jeffrey R. Gohean,Mark Kurusz,Raul G. Longoria,Larry R. Kaiser,Richard W. Smalling +6 more
TL;DR: This investigation tested the hypothesis that pulsatile left ventricular assist synchronized to the cardiac cycle provides superiorleft ventricular unloading and circulatory support compared with continuous-flow left Ventricular assist devices at the same level of ventricular assistance device flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the Trendelenburg position on the distribution of arterial air emboli in dogs.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the forces of buoyancy do not overcome the force of arterial blood flow and that the Trendelenburg position does not prevent arterial bubbles from reaching the brain.
