Abstract In blood extracorporeal circulations such as hemodialysis (HD) and extracorporeal membrane artificial lung (ECMO) during the surgical operation, the real-time and noninvasive prediction of heparin concentration c is necessary over the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Using intraoperative hemostatic checklists may improve rates of surgical re-exploration and utilization of allogenic blood products in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this review, the authors explore the..

Abstract Objectives Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication with high morbidity and mortality. This study was designed to determine whether adding human albumin to the cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Optimal blood pressure goals during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remain uncertain and new metrics to individualize perfusion targets are needed. Critical closing pressure (Pcrit) is a fundamental property of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To investigate the safety and efficacy of ANG-3777, a hepatocyte growth factor mimetic, in mitigating the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study presents the utilization of a novel, highly lipophilic nitric oxide (NO) donor molecule, S-nitroso-1-adamantanethiol (SNAT), for developing an NO-emitting polymer surface aimed at preventing thrombus formation and bacterial..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Healthcare systems are operating under substantial pressures. Clinicians and managers are constantly having to make adaptations, which are typically improvised, highly variable and not coordinated across teams. This study..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) struggles with effective caval isolation and cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We aimed to develop a novel MICS venous cannula, eliminating external manipulations...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The detection of low-range heparin activity is important to correctly assess heparin reversal and rebound, especially after cardiopulmonary bypass. Current parameters are either not available at point-of-care (anti-Xa..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Timely recognition of perioperative red blood cell transfusion (PRT) risk is crucial for developing personalized blood management strategies in pediatric patients. In this study, we sought to construct..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The clinical tolerance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) membrane changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients under veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) has not been reported. The aim of this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Congenital heart disease affects 1% of US births, with many babies requiring major cardiothoracic surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), exposing the more critical patients to neurodevelopmental impairment. Optimal..

Abstract Objectives According to the manufacturer, the Hemochron ACT-LR cuvette is designated for heparin concentrations of 0 to 2.5 IU/mL, while the optimal concentration range for the ACT+ cartridge is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: To compare tracheal temperature (TET) with nasopharyngeal temperature (TNP) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).    Methods: TET was measured using a thermistor in the cuff..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The role of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still in debate. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock represents a critical condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate circulation leading to insufficient tissue perfusion and end-organ failure. Temporary mechanical circulatory support offers..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been primarily used for respiratory and circulatory failure, but its airway-related use has not been investigated well. Tracheal procedures are a situation when ECMO..

Program Description: The SUNY Upstate Medical University is seeking applicants to fill a paid educational assistantship in the Department of Cardiovascular Perfusion. One international candidate per year will be selected..

Perfusfind S.L.

Preamble Clinical practice guidelines consolidate and evaluate all pertinent evidence on a specific topic available at the time of their formulation. The goal is to assist physicians in determining the..
