Abstract Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicates pediatric cardiac surgery, particularly in single-ventricle palliation. While retrograde lower body perfusion (LBP) has been associated with a renal-protective signal during aortic arch..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In recent years, artificial placenta systems have been developed for the clinical treatment of infant respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Their use requires systemic anticoagulation to prevent clotting during treatment...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Hemolytic complications remain a major limitation of membrane oxygenators in clinical support. Compared with human lungs, most commercial oxygenators generate substantial pressure drops and high shear stress, increasing..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Patients receiving clopidogrel who undergo urgent CABG before the recommended 5-day washout period are at increased risk of perioperative bleeding. This study evaluated whether intraoperative hemoadsorption can reduce..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: Cardiac surgery carries a significant risk of complications and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), is increasingly being explored to enhance perioperative risk prediction and support..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Heart transplant recipients often face the clinical dilemma of coexisting bleeding and thrombotic risks postoperatively. Conventional anticoagulation monitoring parameters (e.g., platelet count, fibrinogen, D‑dimer, and anti‑Xa activity) frequently..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The relationship between perioperative blood glucose variability (BGV), microcirculatory changes, and subsequent organ dysfunction after coronary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The impact of perioperative red blood cell transfusion on long-term outcomes after cardiovascular surgery remains controversial. This meta-analysis of reconstructed time-to-event data aimed to evaluate the association between..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Debriefing is widely recognised as a central mechanism for learning within healthcare simulation, enabling learners to reflect on clinical actions, decision-making, and team interactions. However, high-quality debriefing is resource-intensive,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Activated clotting time (ACT) is widely used to monitor intraoperative anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin (UFH) during vascular surgery, but the most informative ACT-derived metric and the optimal approach..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This essay addresses the fundamental mechanism underlying the precise regulation of PaCO2 during steady states of air-breathing eupnea and hyperpnea. First, an argument is made for CO2/H+ chemoreception as an important compensatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Continuous oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass is an emerging strategy to support goal-directed perfusion (GDP) during heart transplantation (HT). Because donation after circulatory death (DCD)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Pulmonary capillary endothelial cells (ECs) form a highly specialized vascular interface that sustains gas exchange and organismal survival across species. Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing have..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Inadequate oxygen perfusion during cardiac surgery increases risk of postoperative complications. In order to optimize perfusion strategies, the aim of this exploratory study was to investigate oxygen delivery,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS) is a key node in heart-brain communication and an emerging target for cardiac therapy, yet its physiological importance and functional organization remain poorly..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Validation of the Quantra QPlus sonorheometry cartridge (Hemosonics Corporation) in cardiac surgical patients is limited. The primary aim of our study was to quantify the accuracy of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) remains a major health challenge globally, with surgical interventions being the primary treatment modality for many defects. While advancements in cardiac surgery have improved..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Pre-operative anaemia is associated with adverse outcomes following cardiac surgery. However, the prognostic impact of postoperative anaemia is characterised incompletely. We examined whether anaemia at hospital discharge independently..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate in-hospital mortality and to identify predictors of mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To describe perioperative transfusion rates, hospital variability, temporal trends, and the association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and predefined risk factors in Dutch cardiac surgery. Design Nationwide..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postoperative bleeding is a common and potentially life-threatening complication following cardiac surgery, often exacerbated by multifactorial coagulopathy from cardiopulmonary bypass, hypothermia, and platelet dysfunction. While fresh frozen plasma..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest is increasingly used, with survival rates up to ≈30% reported in select highly organized systems, although outcomes vary widely across programs...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract  Objective: To explore the predictive value of intraoperative oxygen delivery (DO2) and renal regional oxygen saturation (rSO2 ) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients undergoing salvage cardiac surgery experience markedly elevated mortality, often exceeding the risk predicted by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality score. These patients are typically..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Pulmonary complications after coronary artery bypass surgery continue to be a significant problem, affecting 5–20% of patients, prolonging hospital stays and increasing costs. In this study, we investigated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common serious complications after cardiac surgery. Although many causes and risk factors have been identified, effective measures to prevent AKI..
