Abstract Patient Blood Management (PBM) has evolved from a transfusion-centered practice to a structured, patient-focused perioperative strategy aimed at improving surgical outcomes while preserving blood resources. In the operating room,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Prolonged ischemic time remains a major barrier to donor use and is strongly associated with primary graft dysfunction in heart transplantation. We evaluated whether intraoperative recipient metabolic adequacy,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Traumatic or surgical hemorrhage causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) reduces traumatic hemorrhage in animal models. VNS targets acetylcholine-producing T lymphocytes in the spleen..

    Partial Heart and Lung Transplantation: Maximizing Donor Organ Utilization Through Two-Recipient Transplantation Partial heart and lung transplantation is an innovative organ utilization strategy that allows transplantation of thoracic..

Perfusfind S.L.

      Managing aortic and pulmonary root enlargement in donor organs requires a meticulous, proactive strategy to ensure structural stability before implantation into an emergency recipient. Utilizing a double..

Abstract Background Jehova′s Witnesses refuse the administration of allogenic blood products for religious reasons. This stance represents a special challenge for the perioperative management and requires individualized ethically sensitive and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Congenital heart disease surgery includes intricate structures that are perhaps hard to completely understand by traditional two-dimensional shapes. Individualised, centre-based three-dimensional (3D) heart models may enhance structural imaging and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Rationale Circadian rhythms affect cardiovascular function, and the timing and severity of stroke and myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Afternoon cardiac surgery may improve outcomes by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Oxygenator failure during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a rare but potentially catastrophic intraoperative event that can result in sudden hypoxemia and neurological injury if not promptly recognized and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac index (CI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are concurrent determinants of renal perfusion. Hypotension is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), but clinical trials focused solely on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract We describe a case of establishing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) before general anesthesia in a person who has an obstructive right atrial myxoma protruding into the right ventricle (RV). A..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Thromboelastometry is often used to guide coagulation management, but validation outside cardiac surgery is limited. We evaluated correlations between thromboelastometry parameters and conventional laboratory tests in noncardiac patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of sodium bicarbonate Ringer’s solution(BRS) as a priming fluid for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods A total of 159 patients undergoing..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient blood management (PBM) aims to improve patient outcome by managing and preserving a patient’s own blood and its components. Among the many recommended interventions, reducing intraoperative blood loss..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background In 2019, the American Society of Extracorporeal Technology (AmSECT) approved the inaugural Standards and Guidelines for Pediatric and Congenital Perfusion Practice. These standards and guidelines were created with the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Postoperative thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication in cardiac surgery, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Our study aimed to describe platelet count after cardiac surgery and identify predictors..

Abstract Importance  Timely identification of acute brain injury (ABI) in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is critical for early neuroprotective interventions. Objectives  To determine if elevations in plasma glial fibrillary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To determine if the administration of coagulation products in cardiac surgery depends on the anesthesiologist’s exposure/number of cases per year, being on-call the same night as the surgery,..
