Journal ArticleDOI
The role of leukocyte and endothelial adhesion molecules in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
TL;DR: Evidence from a variety of animal models indicates that neutrophils are the principle effector cells of the reperfusion injury and that blockade of neutrophil adhesion to endothelium attenuates ischemia-reperfusions injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update and outcomes in extracorporeal life support
TL;DR: 2013 marks the first year where the number of neonatal respiratory ECLS cases is less than 50% of the registry, and growth is occurring in the use of pediatric respiratory EclS with 331-448 cases/year from 2008 to 2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteral feeding algorithm for infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome poststage I palliation.

TL;DR: The use of an enteral feeding algorithm is a safe and effective means of initiating and advancing enteral nutrition in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome following stage I palliation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood transfusion after pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with prolonged hospital stay.
Joshua W. Salvin,Mark A. Scheurer,Peter C. Laussen,David Wypij,Angelo Polito,Emile A. Bacha,Frank A. Pigula,Francis X. McGowan,John M. Costello,Ravi R. Thiagarajan +9 more
TL;DR: Blood transfusion is associated with prolonged hospitalization of children after cardiac surgery, with biventricular patients at highest risk for increased LOS and future studies are necessary to explore this association and refine transfusion practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support of the Fontan and bidirectional Glenn circulations.
Karen L. Booth,Stephen J. Roth,Ravi R. Thiagarajan,Melvin C. Almodovar,Pedro J. del Nido,Peter C. Laussen +5 more
TL;DR: While the morbidity and mortality rates are high, there are select patients for whom extracorporeal support can be effective and lifesaving as a short-term resuscitative intervention.
