Abstract Introduction Congenital cardiac defects disrupt circulation and oxygenation due to structural changes in the heart. Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, accounting for 5..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Cardiac arrest happens in 0.7%-5.2% patients after cardiovascular surgery, and cases with asystole or severe bradycardia need timely temporary pacing. However, routine temporary pacing wire insertion in cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Neonates undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at a high risk of a systemic inflammatory response leading to cardiac, respiratory, and renal dysfunction due to their small body size..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the operational feasibility of a self-designed minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation integrated circuit (miECC) type IV system and to assess the effectiveness of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used. Previous methods to reduce inflammation have shown inconsistent results. We developed a cytokine adsorption column using polymethyl methacrylate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery is associated with increased risk of major adverse outcomes. Venous to arterial carbon dioxide tension gap (Pv-aCO2 gap) showed significant prognostic value of non-cardiac surgery, while their..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Evidence for the effectiveness of the Sonoclot analyzer in improving clinical outcomes in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is lacking. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm based..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The outcomes of COVID-19 patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) varied. We aim to investigate the variability concerning location and timeframe. We conducted a retrospective analysis of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aortic surgeries are associated with intraoperative blood loss, often requiring allogeneic blood transfusion. Therefore, blood must be viewed as a scarce resource that carries risks and benefits. Many preoperative..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a crucial support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure, but its availability is limited, often requiring patient transport to specialized centers. Only..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is essential for cardiac surgery but poses risks, including gaseous micro emboli (GME). While the incidence of stroke—a common clinical consequence of embolism—ranges from 1-5%..

Changing aortic valve with conduit enhanced autologous pulmonary valve in a modified Ross operation with minimally invasive technique.  [playlist ids="49781"]   Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical research..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Early rehabilitation in an intensive care unit (ICU) can shorten the ICU stay and reduce the associated risks and costs. However, mobilization has been shown to be slower..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Ascorbic acid is an essential cofactor of catecholamine synthesis that increases capillary bed density and improves microcirculation perfusion. We hypothesized early ascorbic acid administration in cardiothoracic surgery would..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute brain injury (ABI) is prevalent among patients undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and significantly impact recovery. Early prediction of ABI could enable timely interventions to prevent adverse..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support system composed of a pump, an oxygenator, hemocompatible component coating, and integrated monitoring. ECMO systems have evolved greatly since the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The main objective of this study is to evaluate the low-cost, open-source HEGduino device as a tissue oximetry monitor to advance the research of somatic NIRS monitoring. Specifically, this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in children with congenital heart disease following open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Early AKI detection in critically ill children requires clinician..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Although lung transplantation has experienced great development in the past decades, the survival rate remains low, and lung ischaemia–reperfusion injury during transplantation is a major cause of primary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract While iterative developments have improved outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction, mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) remains stubbornly high. Several promising treatments have ultimately..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study aimed to describe patient characteristics, mortality, and morbidity outcomes in children at a South African extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center. Fifty-seven patients required ECMO from 2018 to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The paper published in this issue of the ICVTS by Green and colleagues [] from the University of Hull in the UK addresses an often underestimated yet increasingly recognized issue in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The study objective was to evaluate whether increasing , as measured by the Clinical Frailty Scale, was associated with an increased risk of hospital mortality for patients undergoing cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction The last 15 years have seen a rapid expansion in the use of extracorporeal life support. ECMO has evolved from a rescue treatment available in a few expert..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction There is no recommendation regarding the optimal prime solution for the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit in adult cardiac surgery. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, mannitol has frequently been..
