Abstract Objective Postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) are a significant concern after cardiac surgery, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used for support in refractory severe respiratory failure. Venous drainage and return are accomplished through cannulation of patient’s major veins, typically on the..

Abstract The impact of common hemoglobinopathies, such as sickle cell trait (SCT), on outcomes in adults requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains understudied. Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry data was..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Vaccination is increasingly acknowledged as an effective preventive measure not only against specific infections, but also for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in high-risk patients. Specifically, a growing body..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction  Online experiential learning can benefit learners with scalable techniques to self-debrief and to develop cognitive skills in recognizing clinical cues. Methods  We developed techniques for cue-detection exercises and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of ciprofol on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Patients and Methods: A total of 138 patients who underwent cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Transfusion management during cardiac surgery is commonly guided by algorithms using viscoelastic tests such as Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM). Recently, the ROTEM Sigma, a new device developed as a fully..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Femoral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used as an ultima ratio to maintain circulation in patients with refractory cardiorespiratory failure, but is also associated with vascular and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extreme prematurity carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality. The artificial placenta is an emerging therapy that has the potential to improve outcomes in these patients. However, current..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), associated with increased mortality. We assessed the relationship between indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) during CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Overdiagnosis occurs when abnormalities meeting diagnostic criteria would remain asymptomatic if undiagnosed. Cases initially identified through digital diagnostic tools but later recognised as overdiagnosis are referred to as..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is utilized in critically ill neonates with severe cardiopulmonary failure. Hemolysis is a potential complication and is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Active mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is associated with high complication rates. Reducing device-related complications may improve outcomes in patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). This study aims to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has become an increasingly preferred modality for respiratory support in neonates and infants under 10 kg, driven by a growing recognition of its..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To compare effectiveness and safety of rescue therapy approach with recombinant Factor VII activated (rFVIIa) for refractory bleeding in cardiac surgery compared with a propensity-score-matched control group at..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is often used for lung rest in critically ill patients, including pregnant patients. Objectives We aimed to determine how pregnant and non-pregnant patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving cardiopulmonary support for patients with acute heart failure. However, the process of weaning from veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO remains complex and risky. We..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Simulation-based education (SBE) in health care is expanding in both scope and relevance. As on-the-job training is challenging in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), SBE features strongly in its curricula,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery is an auxiliary treatment for cardiogenic shock. However, there is a lack of effective prediction models..

Perfusfind S.L.

Background Accidental hypothermia (AH) can be caused by exposure to cold weather conditions, immersion in water, avalanche burial in snow, or indoors, mostly affecting elderly patients with multiple comorbidities., There are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of levosimendan in promoting weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock through a meta-analysis of clinical trials. Design Systematic review..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective:This study aimed to evaluate school-age neurodevelopmental outcomes among children with single ventricle heart disease who underwent neonatal Norwood operation with regional cerebral perfusion compared to deep hypothermic circulatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To determine the relationship between intraoperative decreased renal and cerebral oxygen saturation, as measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in adults. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study analyzed the outcomes of neonates undergoing a second run of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to determine whether there is a benefit to a repeated run. We used..
