extracorporeal circulation

The first open heart procedures with extracorporeal circulation were performed at the beginning of 1962.

The introduction of extracorporeal circulation has facilitated open heart surgery.

This syndrome occurs within 6h after cardiac surgery using extracorporeal circulation [ 31].

CPB is a form of extracorporeal circulation.

In 1937 Gibbon reports the first successful use of extracorporeal circulation in animals (in this case, cats).

Extracorporeal circulation.

The development of modern techniques in extracorporeal circulation is the result of the combined efforts of physiologists, physicians, and engineers.

During the first half of the 20th century scientists refined their methods in the development of extracorporeal circulation so that it could be used in humans.

It has been shown to inhibit intrinsic coagulation, inhibit host responses to extracorporeal circulation, and lessen postperfusion, or "pumphead," syndrome.

Minimized extracorporeal circulation (MECC) is a kind of cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine), a part of heart surgery.

This measurement is often used under treatment with a heart-lung machine (extracorporeal circulation), and can give the perfusionist an idea of how much flow the patient needs to stay healthy.

The first commercial minimized extracorporeal circulation was the CorX System from Cardiovention, a start-up company from the USA.

UD requires establishment of an extracorporeal circulation through its unique AV loop with two preexisting arterial and central venous lines in ICU patients.

This required an extensive series of full-thickness incisions through the walls of both atria, a median sternotomy (vertical incision through the sternum) and cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine; extracorporeal circulation).

During 1961 and 1962 in Romania, he conducted, with his team, extensive experimental and clinical work on the physiology of organisms under deep hypothermia, with the aid of extracorporeal circulation, in animals and in man.

Dr. John Heysham Gibbon at Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia reported in 1953 the first successful use of extracorporeal circulation by means of an oxygenator, but he abandoned the method, disappointed by subsequent failures.

He was one of the first to work with extracorporeal circulation brain-lung machines (he built his own) and the use of an auxiliary heart transplant for providing assisted circulation, as well as to develop heterologous and homologous artificial heart valves, using dura mater.

The benefits of this type of extracorporeal circulation are that a lower consumption of blood and blood products is observed in the peri-operative and post-operative phase and that a lower inflammatory response is being measured in peri-operative blood samples in comparison to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass.
