Left ventricular unloading in patients supported with veno-arterial extra corporeal membrane oxygenation; an international EuroELSO survey
CONCLUSIONS: Significant variation exists with respect to international practice of ventricular unloading. Further research is required that compares the efficacy of different unloading strategies and a randomized comparison of routine mechanical unloading versus unplanned unloading.PMID:38651575 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241229647 (Source: Perfusion)

Sudden pump stop may cause air release in oxygenators,'< em > The Hammer Effect < /em > ': An in vitro evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the hammer effect may occur before connection of the CPB system to the patient, and this may result in air release into the arterial blood side of the oxygenator. The hammer effect can be caused by clamping of the tubing in combination with a centrifugal pump, or by suddenly stopping the roller pump. With this study we would like to raise awareness of the hammer effect.PMID:38584486 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241244961 (Source: Perfusion)

A survey of practice in the anesthetic management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis spine fusion by the North American Pediatric Spine Anesthesiologists Collaborative
CONCLUSION: Most anesthesiologists (87.1%; 95% CI 80.6-99.9) report the use of some form of an anesthesia-based protocol for AIS fusions, but our survey results show there is considerable variation in all aspects of perioperative care. Areas of agreement on management comprise the typical vascular access required, utilization of tranexamic acid, immediate extubation, and disposition to a floor bed. By recognizing the diversity of anesthetic care, we can develop areas of research and improve the perioperative management of AIS.PMID:38578166 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14895 (Source: Paediatric Anaesthesia)
