Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a safe modality of cardiorespiratory support for lung transplantation, with a reduction in coagulopathy and transfusion requirement when compared with cardiopulmonary bypass. In some scenarios, in lung transplantation, there are advantages to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, which allows cardiac decompression, filtering of embolic air, easy addition and removal of volume, and a means to immediately reintroduce lost blood into circulation. We describe a novel circuit which allows safe and easy switch between modalities without prolonged interruption of flow. This circuit offers a safety net during surgery to minimise the risks influencing the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass initiate a systemic inflammatory response largely determined by blood contact with foreign surfaces and the activation of complement. It is generally accepted that cardiopulmonary bypass initiates a whole-body inflammatory reaction. The magnitude of this inflammatory reaction varies, but the persistence of any degree of inflammation may be considered potentially harmful to the cardiac patient. The development of strategies to control the inflammatory response following cardiac surgery is currently the focus of considerable research efforts. Diverse techniques including maintenance of hemodynamic stability, minimization of exposure to cardiopulmonary bypass circuitry, and pharmacologic and immunomodulatory agents have been examined in clinical studies. This article briefly reviews the current concepts of the systemic inflammatory response following cardiac surgery, and the various therapeutic strategies being used to modulate this response.
