Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic: The field of cardiovascular surgery is highly dynamic, continuously evolving and improving. The cardiopulmonary bypass has revolutionized cardiac surgery for decades, allowing for complex procedures to be performed. However, the field has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, driven by technological innovations, an improved understanding of physiological processes, and the pursuit of better patient outcomes.
Aim and scope of the Special Issue: This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge advancements in cardiopulmonary bypass, focusing on how recent innovations have improved clinical outcomes and the quality of care in cardiac surgery. The Issue will provide insights into new technologies, surgical techniques, and strategies that have the potential to improve patient outcomes.
Cutting-edge research: We invite contributions on topics such as innovative or minimally invasive CPB techniques, patient monitoring systems, hemodynamic optimization, and novel approaches to managing complications and postoperative care.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: By highlighting the latest advancements in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the ongoing improvement of patient care and outcomes. We encourage reseachers to submit their original research, comprehensive reviews, clinical studies, and case reports that offer practical solutions or novel insights into cardiopulmonary bypass. Submissions should advance the understanding of cardiopulmoary bypass’ clinical applications and highlight its impact on patient safety, recovery, and long-term outcomes.
