Abstract One of the hallmarks of the SARS-CoV-2 infection has been the inflammatory process that played a role in its pathogenesis, resulting in mortality within susceptible individuals. This uncontrolled inflammatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient safety is typically assessed by the frequency of adverse events or incidents, which means we seek to determine safety by its absence rather than its presence. The Safety-II perspective..

Blood purification by hemoadsorption therapy seems to improve outcomes in selected patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Here, we report the successful application of hemoadsorption in the severe systemic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Gelatin has been used as a plasma volume expander because of its ability to preserve intravascular volume more effectively than crystalloids. However, gelatin may have detrimental effects on..

Abstract Refractory hypoxemia despite the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related acute respiratory distress syndrome remains a challenging problem. A single ECMO circuit may not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) has become our preferred method for cerebral protection during open arch cases. While the initial approach involved sewing a graft to the innominate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy utilized for patients with severe life-threatening cardiorespiratory failure. Patients treated with ECMO are among the most severely ill encountered in critical..
