Background: Membrane oxygenators facilitate extracorporeal gas exchange, necessitating the monitoring of blood gas. Recent advances in normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for ex vivo liver offer solutions to the shortage of donor liver. However, maintaining physiological blood gas levels during prolonged NMP is complex and costly.

Background: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective intervention for restoring adequate circulatory perfusion after cardiac arrest. Ensuring high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before initiating Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is critical to mitigate tissue hypoxia and ischemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO) Goal-Directed CPR (GDCPR) on neurological function before ECMO using a retrospective case-control analysis.

Introduction: Cold static storage (CSS) and normothermic ex-situ preservation are the most widely used donor heart preservation techniques worldwide. The current study compares both CSS and normothermic ex-situ preservation methods in terms of graft performance, morphologic changes, and acute immune response in an experimental model.
Method And Materials: Twenty rats underwent heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation after 2 h of CSS (group 1; n = 10) or normothermic ex-situ perfusion (group 2; n = 10).

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a method of acute resuscitation for patients who have suffered a cardiac arrest through the utilization of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) pump. The use and efficacy of eCPR is an active area of investigation with ongoing clinical investigation across the world. Since its inception, ECMO has been utilized for several conditions, but more recently, its efficacy in maintaining cerebrovascular perfusion in eCPR has generated interest in more widespread utilization, particularly in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Extracorporeal perfusion systems utilized in open-heart surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass can affect multiple body systems. The primary adverse effects of Extracorporeal Perfusion Systems (EPS) on the hematological system include postoperative bleeding and coagulation issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of on-pump time and cross-clamp duration on total platelet count (PLT) and platelet indices in open-heart surgeries performed using cardiopulmonary bypass.
