PerfWeb 78 — Day 1 - Tammy Sparacino Journal Club: Air, Inflammation and Biocompatibility
Tammy discusses the blood air interface, common to cardiopulmonary bypass and how this initiates the inflammatory cascade.
Tammy also discusses biocompatible surfaces and how these attenuate the inflammatory cascade.
Welcome to PerfWeb 78 - Day 1, an immersive video course tailored for perfusionists, featuring Tammy Sparacino's enlightening Journal Club: Air, Inflammation and Biocompatibility. PerfWeb's comprehensive video courses offer a unique platform for exploring critical subjects, fostering the continuous learning that lies at the heart of the perfusion profession.
In this course, Tammy Sparacino, a renowned perfusion expert, dissects the intricate relationship between the blood-air interface, common in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), inflammation, and biocompatibility. Her discussions offer a profound exploration of how these elements interact within the CPB setting, promoting an advanced understanding of their implications for patient outcomes.
CPB is a fundamental technique in cardiovascular surgery, yet it carries inherent challenges – one of them being the blood-air interface, which triggers the inflammatory cascade. Tammy meticulously unpacks this phenomenon, delving into the mechanisms by which CPB can incite an inflammatory response and the potential impact this has on patients. Her insights illuminate how something as simple as a blood-air interaction can ignite a complex biological response, an understanding vital to the effective management of patients undergoing CPB.
Beyond the inflammatory cascade, Tammy further explores the concept of biocompatible surfaces in the context of CPB. Biocompatible materials have revolutionized medical treatments, especially in fields involving direct interaction with blood, such as CPB. Their ability to minimize adverse reactions, such as inflammation, makes them indispensable in the current medical landscape.
In PerfWeb 78 - Day 1, Tammy discusses how biocompatible surfaces help attenuate the inflammatory cascade. She expounds on the different types of biocompatible materials used in CPB, their unique properties, and their role in mitigating the inflammatory response. This segment of the course serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of materials in CPB and their effect on patient outcomes.
