Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether an activated clotting time (ACT)-guided, formula-based anticoagulation strategy supported by viscoelastic coagulation monitoring (ROTEM) improves perioperative coagulation management and reduces bleeding compared with standard weight-based..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, although lifesaving, is invasive. Complications affecting all body systems mandate reevaluation of goals of care. When extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is nonbeneficial, planning for de-escalation/decannulation to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To map the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in adult follow-up after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and to identify measurement gaps relevant..

Abstract In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we compared extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation and early management performed in the emergency resuscitation room (ERR) versus the intensive care unit (ICU)...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Cardiopulmonary bypass is necessary for surgical repair of complex congenital heart disease. We studied whether whole blood use in circuit prime and for initial intraoperative transfusion needs improved..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cerebral injury remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in VA‑ECMO patients. Disruption of cerebral autoregulation during extracorporeal support may predispose to neurological damage. This prospective study evaluated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract An obese female patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy was placed on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Despite biventricular recovery by day 3, VA-ECMO..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To determine whether preoperative intestinal microbiome characteristics are associated with the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after cardiac surgery. Design Single-center prospective observational cohort study. Setting..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Efficient and selective gas transport across soft and nonporous interfaces remains a pivotal challenge for biomimetic membrane design, particularly in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) systems. Here, we report a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In this retrospective cohort study at a quaternary referral hospital, 829 adult patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) between January 1, 2014, and October 31, 2024, were screened..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving intervention for critically ill children. However, decisions regarding discontinuation due to poor prognosis remain ethically complex. While outcomes after successful weaning are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Although AF is not a primarily immunologic disorder, increasing clinical, translational, and experimental..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation during refractory cardiac arrest has become a key therapeutic option in contemporary critical care medicine. When initiated in a timely manner, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Post–myocardial infarction (PMI) ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair is associated with high mortality., The pathophysiology varies based on the size of the infarction and the VSD, which results in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract To optimize and evaluate the hydrodynamic performance and gas exchange efficiency of a newly developed centrifugal blood pump and membrane oxygenator for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, blood pump..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective(s): Mean arterial pressure (MAP) after cardiac surgery may contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI). We sought to identify threshold MAP values during the first 24 hours (h) postoperatively..

Perfusfind S.L.

Learn ECMO, ECPR, and Bleeding Edge Resuscitation A sim lab, a procedure lab, and one-on-one teaching so you can initiate ECMO and perform the most advanced hemodynamic resuscitation on your..

Perfusfind S.L.

This course is designed for learners who have completed the ELSO Virtual ECMO Training Course, ELSO Foundations: Adult ECMO Training Course, or for practitioners with a strong foundational knowledge of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly employed for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, yet optimal criteria for patient selection remain poorly understood. Pre-cannulation lactate and pH values are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Platelets play a fundamental role in hemostasis; however, their phenotype, reactivity, and function vary across the pediatric age spectrum. While developmental differences in plasma coagulation proteins have been well-characterized..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) recently published a survey on the management of unfractionated heparin (UFH), which revealed substantial heterogeneity in practice and highlighted the need..

    In Thoracoabdominal Normothermic Regional Perfusion (TA-NRP) for Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD), initiating central cannulation with a venous-first approach serves as a critical step to decompress an acutely..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim Early downward temperature drift is a common event of pre-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (e-CPR), since prehospital extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) circuits often lack heat-exchangers. However, whether this core..
