Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has revolutionized cardiac surgery but poses challenges such as hemodynamic instability and adverse clinical outcomes. Achieving optimal perfusion during CPB ensures adequate oxygen delivery to vital organs. Although mean arterial pressure is a key determinant of perfusion pressure, clear guidelines for optimal perfusion have yet to be established. Autoregulation, the organ's ability to maintain consistent blood flow, plays a vital role in perfusion. Individual variability in autoregulation responses and intraoperative factors necessitate an individualized approach to determining the autoregulation range. Continuous assessment of autoregulation during surgery allows for personalized perfusion targets, optimizing organ perfusion. Exploring techniques like multimodal intravenous anesthesia guided by electroencephalogram can enhance perfusion maintenance within the auto-regulatory range. By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion targets on CPB, we can improve outcomes and enhance patient care.

Adverse Prehospital Events and Outcomes After Traumatic Brain Injury.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus.
Importance: While national guidelines recommend avoidance of hypoxia, hypotension, and hypocarbia in the prehospital care of traumatic brain injury (TBI), limited data validate the association of these adverse physiologic events with TBI outcomes.
Objective: To validate the associations of prehospital hypoxia, hypotension, and hypocarbia with TBI outcomes in a US national trauma network.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study examined data from 8 level I trauma centers and their affiliated ground and air emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in the Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services (LITES) Network from January 1, 2017, to June 30, 2021.

The 2024 International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) Congress, held in Houston, Texas, brought together a dynamic, multidisciplinary community of global experts to explore and discuss cutting-edge innovations and unmet needs in liver transplantation. Key themes included liver machine perfusion and donation after circulatory death (DCD), reflecting the ongoing effort to expand the donor pool and improve transplantation outcomes. Machine perfusion technologies, including normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE), and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) have demonstrated great promise in optimizing graft quality, mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury, and enhancing the use of marginal and DCD liver grafts.

Background: This study evaluates the effects of nighttime procurement and transplantation on outcomes following heart transplantation.
Methods: The UNOS registry was queried to analyze adult recipients who underwent isolated orthotopic heart transplantation between January 1, 2010, and September 30, 2022. The cohort was stratified into daytime (4 am-8 pm) and nighttime (8 pm-4 am) transplant groups.
Bifunctional chimeras of myeloperoxidase and glucose oxidase. Antimicrobial, topological and enzymatic properties.

Enhancing the local substrate concentration is a crucial strategy in nature for facilitating the proximity of two enzymes. The substrate of the first enzyme is transformed into a by-product that travels to the active site of the second enzyme without external diffusion, then transformed into a product and eventually expelled from the complex. In an effort to optimize the antimicrobial properties of myeloperoxidase from Rhodopirellula baltica (RbMPO), we created a library of fused chimeras between a glucose oxidase (GOx) and RbMPO so that HO could be continuously perfused in the vicinity RbMPO, enabling the production of HOCl or HOSCN, well-known antimicrobial agents.

Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is a well-established therapy for end-stage heart failure that leads to improved long-term survival rates, with careful allograft surveillance essential for optimizing clinical outcomes after OHT. Unfortunately, complications can arise after OHT that can compromise the success of the OHT. Cardiac MRI is continually evolving, with a range of advanced techniques that can be applied to evaluate allograft structure and function.
