		<description><![CDATA[  Objectives
Patients requiring extracorporeal cardiorespiratory support during lung transplantation can be treated with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In a retrospective analysis, we compared the postoperative course and outcomes of patients treated using these approaches.
Methods
Between August 2008 and September 2011, 92 consecutive patients underwent lung transplantation with extracorporeal support (CPB [...] ]]></description>

Fluid therapy to support the circulation relies on applying a physiological paradigm that better explains clinical and research observations. The revised Starling equation based [...] ]]></description>

BACKGROUND: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality in a variety of surgical settings, but has not been well studied after lung resection surgery. In the present study, we defined the incidence of postoperative AKI, identified risk factors, and clarified the relationship between postoperative AKI and outcome in [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Hemoptysis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) occasionally occurs, and has varying clinical
significance based upon amount of bleeding. Hemoptysis resulting in a clot and airway
obstruction is an extremely rare event found almost exclusively in the intensive care unit. We
describe a unique case of hemoptysis resulting in bronchial impaction from a clot requiring an
emergent return to CPB [...] ]]></description>

strategy (ARS) applied during two-lung ventilation (TLV) just before starting one-lung
ventilation (OLV) improves ventilatory efficiency.
Methods. Subjects were randomly allocated to two groups: (i) control group: ventilation with
tidal volume (VT) of 8 or 6 ml kg21 for TLV and OLV, respectively, and (ii) ARS group: [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Background. Meta-analysis and systematic reviews of epidural compared with paravertebral
blockade analgesia techniques for thoracotomy conclude that although the analgesia is
comparable, paravertebral blockade has a better short-term side-effect profile. However,
reduction in major complications including mortality has not been proven.
Methods. The UK pneumonectomy study was a prospective observational cohort study in
which all UK thoracic surgical centres [...] ]]></description>

It isunknown whether alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs)and reduced VT may influence tidal recruitment and lungdensity. Therefore, the effects of ARM and OLV with differentVT on pulmonary gas/tissue distribution are examined.Methods: Eight anesthetized piglets were [...] ]]></description>
