Abstract
BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has extensive applications in managing patients with acute cardiac and pulmonary failure. Two primary modalities of ECLS, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), include several similarities in their composition, complications, and patient outcomes. Both CPB and ECMO pose a high risk of thrombus formation and platelet activation due to the large surface area of the devices and bleeding due to system anticoagulation. Therefore, novel methods of anticoagulation are needed to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with extracorporeal support. Nitric oxide (NO) has potent antiplatelet properties and presents a promising alternative or addition to anticoagulation with heparin during extracorporeal support. METHODS: We developed two ex vivo models of CPB and ECMO to investigate NO effects on anticoagulation and inflammation in these systems. RESULTS: Sole addition of NO as an anticoagulant was not successful in preventing thrombus formation in the ex vivo setups, therefore a combination of low-level heparin with NO was used. Antiplatelet effects were observed in the ex vivo ECMO model when NO was delivered at 80 ppm. Platelet count was preserved after 480 min when NO was delivered at 30 ppm. CONCLUSION: Combined delivery of NO and heparin did not improve haemocompatibility in either ex vivo model of CPB and ECMO. Anti-inflammatory effects of NO in ECMO systems have to be evaluated further.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
