Abstract Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is known to involve systemic inflammatory responses, but the characteristics of the immune cell types involved in these responses are unclear.  Methods: In this prospective study, we..

Abstract Background: Postoperative thrombocytopenia is a frequent finding after cardiac surgery, affecting approximately 10–40% of patients. The early decline in platelet count, typically observed within the first 48–72 h, is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term neurological disability. In cases of refractory CA, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may be implemented as a salvage..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective We aimed to develop and evaluate cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) machine learning prediction models that included clinical variables, biomarkers, and high-frequency hemodynamic measurements. Design A prospective,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To investigate the association of Tau protein levels with postoperative evidence of neural injury following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Methods One hundred forty-four consecutive..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The objective of our study was to evaluate the ability of Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians who have completed an accelerated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) course and mannequin training..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has risen exponentially worldwide. Following favorable observational studies, randomized controlled trials yielded conflicting results in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) reduces surgical trauma but limits direct visualization of surrounding structures, posing a risk of unrecognized injury. Case presentation A 65-year-old man with alcoholic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly used in adults with refractory cardiac arrest. However, post-resuscitation care in this population remains heterogeneous, evidence-based recommendations are lacking, and most evidence..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is the standard anticoagulant during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A clinically relevant subset develops heparin resistance (HR)—failure to reach adequate anticoagulation with usual UFH—raising thrombotic risk..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Separation from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a pivotal transition for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Impaired alveolar ventilation more so than oxygenation may be..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for trauma is underreported in Latin America. We conducted a cohort study in four centers from Argentina (2015–2024), including all adults with polytrauma (defined as..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Temporary neurologic dysfunction (ND) is common after aortic surgery. The Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 classifies ND as NeuroARC Type 1 (stroke), Type 2 (covert injury), and Type..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: We herein probed the effects of ozone autohemotherapy (O3-AHT) on inflammatory response and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Totally, 130..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background For over three decades ECMO-treatment has been provided in our low-volume nationwide cardiothoracic centre in Iceland. This research aims to examine both the short- and long-term results of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has a history that is a testament to the pioneering spirit of medical innovators. It is intricately linked with the development of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background This study sought to examine the outcomes of percutaneous postclosure of large-bore femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) cannulas compared with a traditional open cutdown technique. Methods Between..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: The global shortage of blood resources has become a significant concern. This study aimed to assess the effects and feasibility of preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) in elective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Health care is not a luxury in the sense of being an enjoyment or an unnecessary indulgence, but inequality and inaccessibility can make certain services seem like luxuries. Health..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardioplegia is delivered via antegrade, retrograde, or combined perfusion routes. Antegrade cardioplegia follows the physiological path but may be less effective in patients with severe coronary disease. Retrograde..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in refractory cardiac and respiratory failure, yet the role of perfusionists remains narrowly defined. While traditionally viewed as technical operators, perfusionists possess..

Abstract There are three reasons why perfusionists and autotransfusionists around the globe still use Normal Saline with cell savers; (1) This what they were taught by their peers and/or didactic..

Abstract Background Peripheral veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation in children poses a significant clinical challenge due to wide variations in body size, vessel caliber, and risk profiles. Purpose..
