Abstract Biochemical markers can be used in addition to neuroimaging techniques to evaluate the extent of ischemic brain injuries and to enable earlier diagnosis and faster intervention following the ischemic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study investigated factors influencing recirculation in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) using a controlled bench model comprising a VV ECMO circuit and a mock circulatory loop with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The choice of cannulation technique for cardiopulmonary bypass remains a critical decision in cardiac surgery with direct consequences for intraoperative management and patient outcomes. Central and femoral cannulation represent..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative probiotic supplementation on the incidence of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Prior studies identified thresholds for mean arterial pressure (MAP <65 mm Hg) and central venous pressure (CVP >12 mm Hg) beyond which risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery are at risk of developing perioperative stroke, but residual effects of anesthesia may hamper timely detection. This study aims to determine if there is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery mechanically circulates and oxygenates the blood, bypassing the heart and lungs. Despite limited evidence, maintaining mechanical ventilation (MV) during CPB is recommended,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes and quality of life have been identified as core patient-centered outcomes for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) research. The aim of this study is to investigate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract As survival after ECMO improves and use of ECMO support increases in both pediatric and adult population, there is a need to focus on both the morbidities and complications..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Survival from refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) remains low. Extracorporeal cardiac resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly be utilised in refractory OHCA,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Introduction Left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation is a known complication associated with acute myocardial infarction and other conditions that impair LV function, carrying a risk for systemic embolization., In this report,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim This study evaluates the accuracy of a newly derived blood volume estimation formula based on the Boer equation for lean body mass, comparing its performance against the Nadler,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: The causes of delayed recovery of consciousness from anesthesia after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are diverse and often related to multiple factors. This study investigated the factors..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) are leading causes of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality. Soluble factors in red blood cell (RBC) supernatant may increase..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: In cardiac surgery, protamine is used to reverse the effects of heparin after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Excess of protamine has been demonstrated to cause platelet dysfunction and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is utilized during cardiovascular surgery to maintain organ oxygen supply and blood perfusion instead of cardiopulmonary function. Three primary methods of artery cannulation used for CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often experience neurological complications, but the neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study combined resting-state fMRI, structural MRI, and cognitive testing to examine brain changes..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects approximately 30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with conventional non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Pulsatile flow has long been proposed for mitigating this complication...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of surgical repair of the thoraco-abdominal aorta (TAA). Perfusion techniques aim to facilitate renal protection through oxygenation or hypothermia. This..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal complications (GICs) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) significantly impact postoperative recovery and clinical outcomes. Methods This single-center, retrospective cohort study evaluated the incidence, risk factors,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  The objective of this study was to describe thrombin generation in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Change in the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) across three..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Assessment of cerebral autoregulation is challenging under different hemodynamic conditions during cardiac surgery and must be rapidly calculated in order to optimize mean arterial pressure (MAP). Whether systemic flow..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Evaluating the impact of cardiac surgery on humoral and cellular immunity in pediatric congenital heart disease patients with prior Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection or vaccination..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a frequent and severe complication. Goal Directed Perfusion (GDP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been developed to reduce post-operative complications,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) is broadly used in high-risk surgical procedures to facilitate rapid autologous red blood cell transfusion, minimizing the need for allogeneic blood and its associated..
