Abstract Introduction:  Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious postoperative complication and is associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction In surgery, serious adverse events have effects on the patient journey, the patient outcome and may constitute a burden to the surgeon involved. This study aims to investigate facilitators..

Abstract Extracorporeal support modalities are highly prothrombotic. Anticoagulation is frequently used for patients receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS), and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). The..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Supplemental oxygen is a standard therapeutic intervention for critically ill patients such as patients suffering from cardiac arrest, myocardial ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. However, the optimal oxygenation..

Abstract Intravascular and intracardiac clots, thrombi, and vegetative material can be safely and effectively treated with the AngioVac System (AngioDynamics, Latham, NY) as an alternative to open surgery. However, this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has extensive applications in managing patients with acute cardiac and pulmonary failure. Two primary modalities of ECLS, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..

Abstract Study Design.  A retrospective, propensity-matched observational study. Objective.  To assess the impact of cell saver (CS) homologous transfusion on perioperative medical complications in adult patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In this prospective observational study, we investigated whether congenital heart disease (CHD) affects the microcirculation and whether the microcirculation is altered following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Thirty-eight..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessel from existing vessels and is a critical first step in tissue repair following chronic disturbances in healing and degenerative tissues. Chronic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The aortic arch plays a significant role in homeostatic mechanisms to retain blood pressure at stable balance in the cardiovascular system. Therefore, the objective is to estimate and identify..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is frequently used for open heart surgery and other procedures that utilize temporary substitution or support of heart and lung function. While it is widely accepted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study investigated changes in coagulation and associations with occurrence of bleeding and thrombosis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. The study included 100 adult ECMO-patients. Standard coagulation parameters,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract As the key component of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), artificial lung membranes have low gas permeability and plasma leakage problems, and the contact between membrane materials and blood can..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Beside the tremendous developments in cardiac surgical procedures, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the gold standard to perform cardiac surgery but is associated with detrimental effects (e.g...

Abstract Objective  (FXII) is a multifunctional  capable of activating thrombotic and inflammatory pathways. FXII has been linked to thrombosis in  (ECMO), but the role of FXII in ECMO-induced inflammatory complications has not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Drainage insufficiency is a common phenomenon during extracorporeal life support, related to a variable and potentially multiple etiologies. Being associated with impaired extracorporeal blood flow (EBF), so with impaired..

Abstract Purpose: Pulse oximetry is widely used in healthcare settings for both screening and continuous monitoring. In this article, it was aimed to review some aspects of pulse oximetry including clinical..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose: Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive medical technique that measures the amount of oxygen in a person’s blood by shining light through their skin. It is widely used in medical..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has decreased in recent years due to negative outcome studies in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction, despite its favorable adverse-event profile...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To retrospectively evaluate a  conservation approach to heparin reversal implemented during times of critical shortages. This approach was aimed at maintaining access to cardiac surgical services. Setting In-patient hospital..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Due to its favorable pharmacologic features, propofol is the most commonly used hypnotic agent in perioperative and intensive care settings. However, it also has adverse effects like propofol infusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Bleeding complications  undergoing cardiac surgery are common. The clinician must assimilate multiple sources of monitoring information, make rational decisions on the etiology of the bleeding, and then formulate a  strategy.  that acquire..
