Abstract Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a frequent medical emergency with low survival rates even after a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Growing evidence supports formation of dedicated teams..

Perfusfind S.L.

Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used for circulatory or pulmonary support not only in-hospital but also out-of-hospital. Small dimensions and a lightweight design are important, especially for out-of-hospital..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract We carried out a meta-analysis on the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on cardiopulmonary function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Four databases were searched for studies comparing CR..

Abstract Objective: Transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) is the gold standard for the high-surgical-risk group of patients with aortic valve disease and it is an alternative to surgery in patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to evaluate how the current working climate of  surgery and burnout experienced by  surgeons influences their spouses and significant others (SOs). Methods A 33-question well-being survey was developed..

Abstract  is a refractory disease caused by microbial invasion of the bone, leading to destruction of the . It is more common in children. Osteomyelitis requires long  at high cost and is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anemia and red blood cell transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes. Large randomized trials have demonstrated that restrictive transfusion strategies can safely reduce patient exposure to transfusion, forming a..

Abstract Background: From 2013 onwards, a large outbreak of Mycobacterium chimaera (MC) invasive infection, which was correlated with the use of contaminated heater–cooler units (HCUs) during open chest surgery, was reported..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are used frequently in pediatric patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery. To improve data-driven transfusion decision-making in the..

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 20 ml/kg and 15 ml/kg  (RBCT) on cerebral and intestinal tissue oxygenation, the number of administered transfusions, and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiothoracic surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers an inflammatory state that may be difficult to differentiate from infection. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a candidate biomarker for sepsis. As data..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Postoperative patients after congenital cardiac surgery are at high risk of fluid overload (FO), which is known to be associated with poor outcomes. “Fluid creep,” or nonresuscitation IV..

Abstract Introduction: According to different authors, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) incidence can be as high as 20–50%. This complication increases postoperative morbidity and mortality and impairs long-term kidney..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The development of new extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) techniques has led to increased application in clinical practice but also inconsistencies in nomenclature and misunderstanding. In November 2022, an international..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery is a major risk factor for postoperative bleeding. We hypothesized that consumptive coagulopathy and haemodilution influence the coagulation factors;..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, the duration of Cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and mortality outcomes. The objective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provides cerebral oxygenation and blood flow (CBF) during neonatal congenital heart surgery, but the impacts of CPB on brain oxygen supply and metabolic demands are generally..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is generally based on standards established in the last decade. In recent years, a concept of perfusion management during ECC, goal-directed perfusion (GDP), has emerged..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Technical advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have increased the number of cases that maintain longer duration. Long-term use of ECMO results in ECMO-related complications. Anticipation of the life-threatening..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Estimating thresholds when a threshold effect exists has important applications in biomedical research. However, models/methods commonly used in the biomedical literature may lead to a biased estimate. For patients..
