Abstract Objective:  Analysis of the prevalence and risk factors for weaning failure from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in patients with severe acute respiratory insufficiency. Design:  Single-center retrospective observational study. Setting:  Sixteen beds medical ICU at the University..

Abstract Albumin, which is a 65-kDa liver-synthesized protein, accounts for nearly 50% of total plasma protein and contributes to approximately 80% of intravascular oncotic pressure. Albumin helps maintain microvascular integrity,..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Older patients with preoperative cognitive impairment are at risk for increased postoperative complications after noncardiac surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between preoperative..

Abstract Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) can cause negative outcomes in neurological conditions. Real-time CA monitoring can predict and thereby help prevent postoperative complications for neurosurgery patients, especially those suffering from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The ability to provide antegrade cerebral and systemic perfusion simultaneously may negate the requirement for any prolonged period of circulatory arrest during complex aortic arch reconstruction procedures, depending on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Intraoperative hypofibrinogenemia is a major factor associated with increased postoperative blood loss in adult cardiac surgery. However, previous pediatric studies on this topic did not sufficiently adjust for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery patients is multifactorial and associated with low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Cardiac surgical patients undergoing full cardiopulmonary..

Abstract ABO blood group has been shown to be a major determinant of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels. O blood group is associated with the lowest vWF levels and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim: In current practice, fast-track protocols are gaining importance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. For this purpose, besides different application techniques, biomarkers are frequently examined in the peri-operative period...

Abstract Introduction Due to a national policy change in the management of unused platelet units from September 2018, there was a drastic increase in the number of platelet units wasted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Bleeding and thrombosis induce major morbidity and mortality in patients under extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO). Circuit changes can be performed for oxygenation membrane thrombosis but are not recommended..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) is adopted as an alternative to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) during aortic arch surgery. However, there is still no preclinical evidence to..

Abstract Cold agglutinin disease is a type of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia caused by autoantibodies that bind to red blood cell antigens at a cold temperature and causes extravascular haemolysis and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Heparin resistance (HR) is a common finding in pediatric cardiac surgery and generally refers to decreased sensitivity to heparin. Antithrombin (AT) deficiency is considered the primary mechanism of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia, hemorrhage and platelet transfusion are common in patients supportedwith venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). However, current literature is limited to smallsingle‑center experiences with high degrees of..
