Abstract Purpose Out-of-bed (OOB) mobility is often expected of patients bridged to lung transplantation (LTx) on venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but the course of listed patients who never..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Non-technical skills (NTS) such as teamwork, communication and leadership are essential for surgical safety, but their impact on patient outcomes is uncertain. This systematic review evaluated whether NTS..

Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains a cornerstone of treatment for advanced multivessel coronary artery disease. During the ischemic period, myocardial cells become injured and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background & Aims Postoperative renal failure remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery, with limited preventive pharmacological options. Enoximone, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor with inotropic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Post-decannulation management of residual extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit blood is an under-standardized issue in critical care and perioperative patient blood management. Whether residual circuit blood should be..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with a high risk of neurologic injury in pediatric patients, and early detection of injury is often challenging because the clinical examination is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Myocardial injury is a significant contributor to 30-day mortality after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We aimed to investigate the association between mean arterial pressure, norepinephrine use during..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Long-term outcomes of emergent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiated outside the operating room remain poorly defined. We evaluated long-term outcomes after emergent ECMO support outside the operating room..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract I read with interest the systematic review and meta-analysis by Samaniego-Laguna et al., which addresses whether intraoperative hemoadsorption during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces postoperative complications. The reported reduction in..

Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains a cornerstone of treatment for advanced multivessel coronary artery disease. During the ischemic period, myocardial cells become injured and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background/Objectives: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), increasing morbidity and prolonging hospitalization. This study aimed to develop and validate an..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) is increasingly adopted for cardiac allograft procurement in controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD). In settings where ante-mortem femoral guidewire placement is permitted, peripheral..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In a recent edition of Anesthesiology, Wijk et al. examine the differential effect on the kidney of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with flow rates of 2.4 L/min/m2 and 2.9 L/min/m2...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides heart/lung support for critically ill patients. While advances in research have improved the overall design and performance of ECMO circuits, complications such as hemolysis..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract We read with interest the editorial by Bolliger et al. on heparin resistance. We report a bedside dilemma in a child who experienced cardiopulmonary arrest from septic pulmonary embolism..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background/Objectives: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces a systemic inflammatory response that may contribute to postoperative organ dysfunction. However, the effects of pulsatile and non-pulsatile CPB on the inflammatory response remain..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Ultrafiltration (UF) reduces dilution of all blood components during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but its impact on coagulation performance remains unclear. We examined whether conventional UF mitigates the CPB-induced..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides life-sustaining gas exchange and haemodynamic support for critically ill patients with severe respiratory or circulatory failure. Paediatric patients supported on ECMO often represent..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Objectives: Myocardial protection during on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) limits ischaemic injury, particularly in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD), in whom severe proximal..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Failure of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit components can precipitate abrupt hemodynamic or respiratory collapse; however, the evidence linking specific component malfunctions to patient harm remains sparse, and device-specific..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides life support to patients undergoing cardiopulmonary surgeries when other interventions are ineffective. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is routinely used during ECMO due to the..
