Abstract Although previous studies have shown correlation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), there is a lack of pragmatic information on the clinical applicability..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose of review  Cardiac surgery has traditionally relied upon invasive hemodynamic monitoring, including regular use of pulmonary artery catheters. More recently, there has been advancement in our understanding as..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Five times of cardiac reoperations for PVE are a complex operation with significant risk. Due to the difficulty of aortic cross-clamping, mitral valve replacement (MVR) is performed under beating..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Traditionally, the functional development, testing and verification of higher level automation, control and safety functions in extracorporeal circulations systems relies very much on the conduction of animal experiments. This..
