Abstract Perfluorocarbons are oxygen-carrying, dense liquids initially intended for the use in partial or total liquid ventilation of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome but which did not show beneficial effects in clinical studies...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with excessively high mortality rates. Recent studies suggest benefits from extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) performed in selected patients. We sought to present..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiovascular disease, which accounts for nearly one-third of deaths globally, is a great threat to human life and health. To improve global health and advance the progression of cardiovascular..

Abstract Aims To investigate the association between the timing of cardiac surgery during pregnancy and both maternal and foetal outcomes. Methods and results Studies published up to 6 February 2021..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high risk, low-volume technology. Infrequency of this technology and associated complications may translate to unfamiliarity of identification and management of potentially..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common and is associated with increased risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality. Our recent survey of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA)..

Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising resuscitation strategy for select patients suffering from refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), though limited data exist regarding the best..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) technology is an established treatment modality for patients with acute cardiac failure. Advances in IABP technology have simplified use and reliability such that electromechanical malfunctions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A retrospective study was performed examining the trend of inflammatory markers, including D-dimers, in 29 COVID-19 patients requiring veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We observed that COVID-19..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Particulate and gaseous microemboli (GME) are side effects of cardiac surgery that interfere with postoperative recovery by causing endothelial dysfunction and vascular blockages. GME sources during surgery are multiple,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective  Efforts to study morbidity and mortality conferences (M&MC) are hampered by the lack of rigorous instruments to assess the effectiveness of the conferences for the purpose of quality..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used extensively for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Reports early in the pandemic suggested that mortality in patients..

Abstract Midway through the 20th century, direct open-heart operations were not yet a reality, awaiting safe methods to support the  during cardiac surgery. The scientific advancements collectively leading to safe  are considered..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Oxygen is needed to generate aerobic adenosine triphosphate and energy that is required to support vital cellular functions. Oxygen delivery (DO2) to the tissues is determined by convective and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction may aid in decision making about organ recovery and optimal timing of separation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We conducted a prospective observational study of..
