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)

Effectiveness of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with left ventricular assist device: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that EBCR following LVAD implantation is associated with greater improvement in functional capacity compared with ST as reflected by the improved peak VO2 and 6MWD values. Considering the small number of patients in this analysis, further research on the clinical impact of EBCR in LVAD patients is warranted.PMID:38587932 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241245876 (Source: Perfusion)

Which strategy is better for lung transplantation: Cardiopulmonary bypass or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation?
Conclusions: Off-pump techniques are standard, but ECMO's role is expanding. Despite advantages, careful ECMO management is crucial due to hidden risks and costs. Future research should focus on refining ECMO use and monitoring to improve outcomes, emphasizing individualized approaches for LT recipients.PMID:38557237 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241242018 (Source: Perfusion)
