Presentación Nos complace presentar la décima edición de ECMOBARNA, un programa de formación consolidado como una referencia nacional e internacional en soporte vital extracorpóreo (ECLS/ECMO). A lo largo de estos..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Traditional methods of heart transplantation utilizing allografts from donors after circulatory death (DCD) involve 2 periods of ischemia and 2 ischemia reperfusion injuries (IRI). Both ischemia and IRI are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB) remains fundamental to modern cardiac surgery, yet its associated hemodilution, blood–air interaction, inflammatory activation, coagulation disturbance, and microembolic burden continue to affect perioperative organ protection..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Female patients have a higher incidence and greater severity of neurocognitive decline (NCD) after cardiac surgery. We investigated whether sex hormones play a role in this difference. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a major complication that worsens patient outcomes and increases healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the association between..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Neurological injury remains a major concern during neonatal aortic arch surgery. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is commonly used to monitor cerebral oxygenation but does not provide direct quantitative information on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A critical aspect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is achieving full anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis and consumptive coagulation (CCA). Systemic anticoagulation with heparin during CPB should be completely neutralized by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Preoperative intravenous iron has become increasingly popular as a strategy to optimize hemoglobin before major surgery. However, its potential benefit in non-anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains unclear...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Optimal oxygenation strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease remain controversial. Although hyperoxia has traditionally been used to compensate for chronic hypoxemia, concerns..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on peripheral white blood cell counts, neutrophil surface marker expression, and neutrophil function by comparing patients undergoing on-pump CABG (ONCAB)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Arterial cannulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) significantly alters native aortic hemodynamics by generating a high-velocity jet that interacts with the ascending aorta and aortic arch geometry. These flow..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Allogeneic blood is a limited and globally scarce resource. Protocols based on the Patient Blood Management (PBM) program, incorporating therapeutic alternatives to reduce the use of red blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Biomarkers play a crucial role in the preoperative assessment for cardiac surgery, aiding in risk stratification and evaluating comorbid diseases. Objective This narrative review summarizes current evidence on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiovascular surgery has substantially improved survival and quality of life for patients with cardiovascular disease, yet contemporary surgical populations are increasingly older, multimorbid, and affected by advanced disease, rendering..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background While hyperoxia has conventionally been the standard during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to prevent hypoxemia, recent concerns regarding oxygen-induced oxidative stress have sparked debate over whether a normoxic strategy..

Perfusfind S.L.

Introduction Here, we present a case of forme fruste (incomplete) cor triatriatum dexter (ff-CTD), an incidental finding on pre–cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) that prevented appropriate venous cannulation, leading..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Providing sufficient organ perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common research topic among extracorporeal technology researchers. The application of an elevated cardiac index (CI) to enhance CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract An imbalance between the classical and alternative renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a characteristic feature of the multifactorial pathophysiology responsible for vasodilatory shock and provides a rationale for its treatment..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Ultrafiltration is integral to cardiopulmonary bypass, yet the optimal replacement fluid for zero-balance ultrafiltration requires further investigation to guide clinical practice. This study aimed to compare the efficacy..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated adverse drug reaction characterized by thrombocytopenia and a high risk of thrombosis. Patients with HIT and a need for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelet activation is crucial for hemostasis and thrombosis, particularly in patients on antiplatelet therapy. Managing bleeding risk during cardiac surgery requires understanding platelet dynamics, especially when antiplatelet agents..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Aims Adults with congenital heart disease tend to develop both cardiac and noncardiac age-related comorbidities earlier in life than the general population, suggesting accelerated biological ageing. Epigenetic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background An abnormal perioperative blood lactate level has been reported to be associated with poor outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, their impact on female patients remains underexplored. This large-scale..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces extreme disturbances in physiological homeostasis, which may trigger vaso‑occlusive crises and hemolysis in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The aim..
