Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether prebypass endogenous melatonin concentrations are associated with perioperative oxidative DNA injury, indexed by urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and to explore their relationship with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives This study describes a single-institution experience of adult patients supported with multiple runs of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during the same hospitalization. We aim to assess complication and..

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) offers cardiopulmonary support with the tradeoff of increased left ventricular (LV) afterload and its adverse sequelae. LV decompression strategies include the use of intra-aortic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Fulminant myocarditis is a severe cardiac condition characterized by rapid progression and high mortality. In recent years, advancements in medical technology, particularly the application of mechanical circulatory support,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Effective myocardial protection during cardiac surgery is essential, yet the differential metabolic stress of the left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) to ischemia–reperfusion remains poorly characterized. Methods This..

Abstract Heparin is among the most widely used anticoagulants worldwide, with an annual market of ∼$4 billion. It also poses potential bleeding risks (0.5–5%), occasionally life-threatening, necessitating heparin reversal agents...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background In cardiac surgery, intraoperative tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used and highly recommended approach for managing perioperative bleeding. Nevertheless, a standardized dose and administration protocol remains undefined. This..

Abstract Objective: Whole blood oxygen saturation and hemoglobin concentration are key markers of health across a variety of clinical contexts. Extracorporeal systems (dialysis, cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO, etc.) require close monitoring..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background For patients presenting with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial ischaemia, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often the only potential lifesaving intervention remaining when revascularisation does not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Lysine analog antifibrinolytics (LAAF) like tranexamic acid (TXA) and aminocaproic acid (EACA) reduce intraoperative blood loss, especially in cardiac surgery where bleeding risks are high. These LAAFs inhibit..

Abstract Objective:  Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery, which significantly worsens prognosis. This study aimed to identify preoperative and intraoperative factors independently associated with POP in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) trigger a systemic inflammatory response. To understand the underlying mechanisms behind the biological reactions during CPB, rat models that mimic clinical CPB..
