Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Decreases Adhesion and Selectively Modifies Functional Responses of Human Neutrophils

TL;DR: This study indicates that repetitive IPC of the forearm results in substantial alterations in neutrophil function, including reduced adhesion, exocytosis, phagocyTosis, and modified cytokine secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short- and intermediate-term survival after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in children with cardiac disease.

TL;DR: ECMO was successfully used in children with cardiac disease with 73% and 66% short- and intermediate-term survival, respectively and the majority of the survivors had normal function or only a minimal neurodevelopmental deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activated partial thromboplastin time is a better trending tool in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

TL;DR: The activated clotting time is not an accurate monitoring tool for heparin management in pediatricextracorporeal membrane oxygenation and cannot be substituted for the clinical laboratory activated partial thromboplastin time values.
