Abstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with significant mortality. Provision of high-quality end-of-life (EOL) care for patients supported on ECMO entails specific physiological, pharmacological, and technical considerations. Limited guidance..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Hemodynamic instability is frequently present in critically ill patients, primarily caused by a decreased preload, contractility, and/or afterload. We hypothesized that peripheral arterial blood pressure waveforms allow to differentiate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  The optimal monitoring strategy for anticoagulation management in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains a clinical controversy. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Anticoagulation Guidelines suggest that multiple anticoagulation assays..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Despite advances in surgical, anesthetic, perfusion, and postoperative care, adverse neurological consequences may occur following cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Consequences of the physiologic effects of CPB may..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Titanium alloys have traditionally been used in blood-contacting cardiovascular devices, including left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). However, titanium surfaces are susceptible to adverse coagulation, leading to thrombogenesis and stroke...

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The study aims were to evaluate current blood transfusion practice in cardiac surgical patients and to explore associations between preoperative anemia, body mass index (BMI), red blood cell..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the clinical outcomes and perioperative complications associated with complete percutaneous decannulation of femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with the MANTA closure device. Methods This is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The safe ischemic time after a single-dose del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) infusion has not yet been established. This study evaluated the progression of myocardial ischemic injury to establish the safe ischemic time after a single-dose DNC..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Severe congenital Factor XI (FXI) deficiency (<20% normal activity) can be associated with significant bleeding disorders, and there has been great concern for severe bleeding following cardiac surgery requiring..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) accounts for 10% of ICU admissions and affects 3 million patients each year. Despite decades of research, it is still associated with one of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass and minimal or no aortic manipulation may be associated with a lower risk of neurological complications. We investigated this issue in patients with a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Obstetric hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality globally, especially in China. The key to a successful rescue is immediate and rapid blood transfusion. Autotransfusion has become an..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD) is the largest cardiac surgical database in the world. Linked data from STS ACSD and the Centers..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery studies have established the clinical relevance of personalised arterial blood pressure management based on cerebral autoregulation. However, variabilities exist in autoregulation evaluation. We compared the association..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The UK is one of the few countries in the world with national registries that record key statistics across a broad range of cardiovascular disorders. The British Cardiovascular Society..

Abstract Identify complications related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the literature and map the nursing diagnoses in the face of this problem. Methodology: An integrative review study with a descriptive..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Volatile anesthetics have been historically preferred for cardiac anesthesia, but the evidence for their superiority to intravenous agents is mixed. We conducted a survey to better understand the..
