Abstract This study described the outcomes of patients receiving topical, nebulized, endobronchial, or systemic tranexamic acid (TXA) for bleeding events while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We performed a single-center..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The perioperative risk factors that cause severe morbidity and prolongation of postoperative hospital stay after cardiac surgery should be determined. Various scores have been used to predict morbidity..
