Abstract Background/Objectives: Postoperative bleeding remains a major complication following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), contributing to transfusion requirements, reintervention, and morbidity. The objective of this study was to assess the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal life support provides temporary cardiorespiratory support for patients with severe, potentially reversible cardiac and/or respiratory failure refractory to conventional measures. Its application has broadened across a wide spectrum..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To determine whether colloid choice within the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) priming strategy independently modifies the perioperative acid-base trajectory. Design Preplanned analysis of a single-center, double-blind, 3-arm randomized controlled..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Plastics serve multiple functions in an industrialized society, including major applications in all aspects of healthcare such as single use syringes, coatings and implantable devices. Plastics break down into..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Unmeasured anions are commonly detected in critically ill patients, yet their nature remains unclear. We examined whether endothelial glycocalyx degradation may be related to this unexplained anionic burden through..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A 37-year-old patient (gravida 10, para 0–1–8-0) with class III obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea requiring continuous positive airway pressure and previous pulmonary emboli presented at 19 + 6 weeks' gestation with severe..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether furosemide administration before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with altered intraoperative urinary oxygen tension (PuO₂) and early postoperative renal outcomes in patients undergoing elective on-pump..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an established therapy for severe respiratory failure; however, few studies have examined the validity of and prognostic factors for VV-ECMO implementation in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Increasingly, more neonatal respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry have a primary diagnosis of Other. These patients, in addition to those..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the response of various oxygenation indices to the oxygen challenge test (OCT), prior to decannulation, in neonates supported with VA ECMO for respiratory indications, and to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Pulmonary complications occur frequently after cardiac surgery. Various intraoperative and perioperative mechanical ventilation strategies were investigated to reduce postoperative lung injury. Evidence of their benefits remains inconclusive. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The application of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has significantly advanced cardiovascular surgery. However, CPB-associated brain injury remains a critical complication that affects patient prognosis and quality of life. Overt stroke..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The optimal timing for transitioning from noninvasive respiratory support to invasive mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains controversial. PubMed and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective:  The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of early versus late initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To determine whether low pre- or post-bypass antithrombin (AT) activity identifies adult cardiac surgery patients at increased risk of adverse outcomes in settings where plasma transfusion is rare...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Chronic respiratory diseases are the third leading global cause of death. As lung transplantation is a definitive treatment for highly selected candidates, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is increasingly used in the early postoperative period after lung transplantation, mainly to support patients with primary graft dysfunction and severe right ventricular failure. Recipients with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is widely used during complex aortic arch surgery to reduce metabolic demand and protect vital organs. Conventional temperature management assumes that restoration of core..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute severe asthma exacerbations are life-threatening critical care emergencies characterized by profound airflow obstruction, respiratory acidosis, and risk for cardiopulmonary arrest. For the purposes of this review, the term..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aims The primary aim of this systematic review was to identify nurse-led clinical interventions evaluated in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for adults who had undergone cardiac surgery. The secondary..

Abstract Cold-induced urticaria is a chronic urticaria subtype which can result in a severe, life-threating, anaphylaxis type reaction to cold stimuli. While a rare condition, it has potentially significant implications..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising strategy for selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest, improving survival and the likelihood of favorable neurological outcomes. However, neurological prognostication..
