Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery and preoperative vitamin D levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
In this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between atrial fibrillation development after cardiac surgery and preoperative vitamin D levels. ⋯ We concluded that low preoperative vitamin D levels were associated with the development of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. However, there is a need for large-scale, randomized-controlled trials for preventing the heterogeneity of the results.

Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: Our experience with single-vessel cannulation.
In this study, we present our experience with bicaval, dual-lumen, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric patients with severe respiratory failure. ⋯ The bicaval, dual-lumen cannula can be safely used in pediatric patients with minimal complication rates and is our preferred method for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
