1. Aspects of retransfusion of shed blood in cardiac surgery
Abstract : The use of cardiotomy suction during open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has a long tradition and often regarded as mandatory. Recently, studies have described potentially negative effects of cardiotomy suction with activation of the complement system, enhanced inflammatory response, hemolysis and coagulopathy. READ MORE

2. Systemic inflammatory activation during cardiac Surgery. Influence of cardiopulmonary bypass management and patient factors
Abstract : Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is accompanied by a prominent systemic inflammatory and hemostatic activation, which may contribute to postoperative complications. Aims: To investigate if selection of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system and management of cardiotomy suction (CTS) and mediastinal shed blood (MSB) affect systemic inflammatory response. READ MORE

3. Responsiveness of human circulating phagocytes in relation to the inflammatory condition
Abstract : In the early stages of the inflammatory process, monocytes and granulocytes constitute important effector cells that must function correctly in order to clear infection. By activating leukocytes in vitro it is possible to mimic the in vivo activation of these cells and study their activation potential. READ MORE

4. Endothelial dysfunction in the pulmanory circulation after cardiopulmonary bybass : with special reference to the reactivity to acetylcholine
Abstract : The endothelium is important as a physical barrier between the bloodstream and the body tissues. It also plays an important role in the control of vasomotor tone, coagulation, and for the interaction between the vessel wall, leukocytes and platelets. One of the most important regulators released from the endothelium is nitric oxide (NO). READ MORE

5. Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery : an analysis of risk factors, mechanisms, and survival effects
Abstract : Background: Despite the recent improvements in surgical techniques and postoperative patient care, atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most frequent complication after cardiac surgery. Although postoperative AF is often regarded as a benign clinical condition, this arrhythmia has significant adverse effects on patient recovery and postoperative survival. READ MORE
