Abstract Background The Association between hyperoxia and mortality in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains controversial. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of arterial hyperoxia on mortality..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The anticoagulant proteins antithrombin, protein C, protein S, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor are physiological regulators of the blood coagulation pathway and have complex roles in causing or modifying..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelet transfusions are frequently given to preterm neonates. However, observational and randomized studies have reported higher morbidity and mortality associated with increased numbers of transfusions. We hypothesized that..

Abstract Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgical intervention. However, the optimal arterial cannulation site for cardiopulmonary bypass during surgery remains a subject of debate...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) plays a crucial role in cardiac surgery, with the pump being a key component affecting both hemolysis and thrombosis. Centrifugal levitating pumps (CP) have demonstrated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cannulation for peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) can lead to severe local complications. This study evaluated site-specific complications between percutaneous and surgical cannulation techniques for femoro-femoral..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Prolonged ECMO has become more common during the COVID-19 pandemic but is associated with high resource utilization and poor outcomes. This study aimed to identify predictors of prolonged..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in ICUs and is associated with poor outcomes. However, little is known about AKI in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To describe the incidence and survival of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) deployment in the operating room (OR) for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after surgery for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Hemodynamic instability during cardiac surgery, particularly procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, increases the risk of mortality and adverse events. Conventional anesthetics such as propofol and etomidate have limitations in maintaining..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Real-time, quantitative biosensing within extracorporeal perfusion (ECP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) systems is key to advancing this life-support technology beyond the hospital setting to emergency care. Measuring and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives:  In neonates, the carotid artery can be ligated or reconstructed at the time of decannulation from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is a paucity of data..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose of review  Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients, especially among those with severe and advanced organ failure. The use of extracorporeal support (ECS) is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are often used together to treat critically ill patients. This systematic review aims to assess mortality and renal..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To systematically evaluate the influence of cannula direction in central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (CVA ECMO) on aortic hemodynamics and oxygen transport through a multiparametric comparative analysis under..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno-pulmonary artery extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-P ECMO) is a configuration of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for patients with isolated or predominantly right ventricular (RV) failure and inadequate gas..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background For decades, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been a reliable and readily available pillar of therapy for cardiogenic shock (CS). However, no clinical markers have been validated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Laboratory research suggests that vasopressin restores systemic arterial pressure without significantly increasing pulmonary artery pressures, compared with norepinephrine. We therefore tested the hypotheses that treatment of intraoperative vasoplegia..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being utilized in critical care globally to allow for adequate oxygenation in patients with cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Unfortunately, haemostatic complications – both..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization recommends daily antithrombin monitoring and supplementation to achieve > 50%–80% activity during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Evidence supporting this practice is uncertain, and whether..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The optimal haemoglobin threshold for use of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in anaemic patients remains an active area of research. Blood is a limited resource, and there..
