This program is apprved for 3.4 Category 1 CEU by ABCP

Vanderbilt University - VUMC Perfusion Conference Block Card - Perfusion Conference 2021

Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Department of CV Surgery: Faculty Forum The effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) on Platelets Program will discuss how the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit interacts with blood components and directly affects platelet counts and functionality. Faculty: Matt Warhoover, CCP Jordan Hoffman, MD Joey Lepore, CCP John Poland, CCP

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club: Preoperative C-reactive protein as a predictor of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. C-reactive protein is a well-known marker of inflammation and may be preoperatively elevated in the absence of infection in adult cardiac surgery patients, indicating a baseline inflammatory process. We conducted a literature search to assess the available evidence on whether there is an association between preoperative C-reactive protein and acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting. Included only were observational studies which investigated this association. Perfusion Knowledge Nuggets

Understanding alpha stat and pH stat

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club:

“Commentary: Taking the next step in cardiopulmonary bypass management Cardiopulmonary bypass technology continues to advance. More sophisticated monitoring strategies could be beneficial in improving the outcomes of patients for whom open heart surgery is necessary.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a system familiar to us all. Many of us use it virtually on a daily basis while we are going about the business of performing our jobs as surgeons. Although incredible advances in perfusion science have been made during the past several decades. It has struck me in recent years that despite the advances in technology of all sorts, our current heart-lung machines still seem relatively large, complicated masses of machinery and tubing that occupy a relatively large footprint in the cardiac operating room.”
