Abstract Objectives The goal of this study was to improve decision making regarding the transfusion of patients at the end of extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery through machine learning predictions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective One of the most significant complications following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is postoperative cognitive decline (POCD). CABG patients frequently experience considerable postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), including decline..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Topic The growing use of acute mechanical circulatory support devices to provide hemodynamic support that has accompanied the increasing prevalence of heart failure and cardiogenic shock, despite significant improvement..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study objective Multifactorial comparison of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) to standard of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in terms of oxygenation in cardiac surgery patients after chest closure. Design Prospective, non-blinded, randomized,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Sex-specific preoperative haemoglobin levels and the need for perioperative red cell transfusion in men and women are still debated. Cavalli and colleagues examined the appropriateness of World Health Organization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged in the context of the emergency department as a life-saving therapy for patients with refractory cardiac arrest. This review examines the utility of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides full hemodynamic support for patients with cardiogenic shock, but optimal timing of ECMO initiation remains uncertain. We sought to determine whether earlier..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Refractory hypoxemia (RH) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support is a complex problem that limits the benefit of this therapy. The need for sustained deep sedation and..

Abstract Purpose: The 2021 guidelines endorsed by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) recommend using highly malignant electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns (HMEP; suppression..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invasive life support technique that requires a blood pump, an artificial membrane lung, and vascular cannulae to drain de-oxygenated blood, remove carbon dioxide,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly being used in patients suffering from refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Although considered life-saving, peripheral VA-ECMO may also be responsible for intracardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Bleeding after surgery on the thoracic aorta is a frequent complication, and can be associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: The number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who may benefit from prehospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is yet to be elucidated. Patient eligibility is determined both by case..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Bilevel-positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is a noninvasive respiratory support modality which reduces effort in patients with respiratory failure. However, it may increase tidal ventilation and transpulmonary pressure, potentially aggravating..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas naturally produced by the human body that plays an important physiological role. Specifically, it binds guanylyl cyclase to induce smooth muscle relaxation...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms as well as neurologic and functional impairment are common in patients who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, results of a new meta-analysis showed. More than..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Thrombophilic disorders increase the risk of blood  and are associated with morbidity in various settings. However, the impact of  on ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) patients is not well studied. We..
