Effect of the Trendelenburg position on the distribution of arterial air emboli in dogs.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the forces of buoyancy do not overcome the force of arterial blood flow and that the Trendelenburg position does not prevent arterial bubbles from reaching the brain.

Anticoagulation practices during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: survey results
TL;DR: There appears to be no consensus regarding commitment to a QC programme among active ECMO centres in the USA, and four out of five respondents reported that heparin dosages were dictated strictly by ACT results, and 63% will temporarily stopHeparin administration for highACT results, bleeding and/or surgery.

Percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac emergencies.
TL;DR: The likelihood of patient survival after emergent PCPS is most often related to the patient undergoing a definitive anatomic surgical repair such as coronary artery bypass or pulmonary embolectomy, and conversion to conventional long-term extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or a ventricular assist device is recommended.

TL;DR: This investigation tested the hypothesis that pulsatile left ventricular assist synchronized to the cardiac cycle provides superiorleft ventricular unloading and circulatory support compared with continuous-flow left Ventricular assist devices at the same level of ventricular assistance device flow.

The evolution of perfusion education in America.
TL;DR: The education of perfusionists will continue to be a challenge related primarily to reduced fiscal resources, the applicant pool and the ever-changing demands for extracorporeal circulation services.
