Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) is one of the most critical advancements in cardiac surgery. It allows the surgical team to operate on a non-beating heart by temporarily taking over the functions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has long been a cornerstone of cardiac surgery. However, conventional CPB circuits are associated with a range of physiological disturbances including hemodilution, inflammatory response, and coagulopathy...

Introduction: A Heart That Pauses, A Circuit That Lives When the heart is arrested during cardiac surgery, life continues—thanks to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The theoretical underpinnings of CPB stem from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perfusionists are central to life-sustaining interventions such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and mechanical circulatory support. While the technical dimensions of their work are well recognized,..

Abstract This case report discusses a rare and critical perfusion accident during a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CAGB) procedure, where a Eurosets Skipper oxygenator burst 3 minutes after..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Management of arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO₂) during extracorporeal circulation is critical to maintaining physiological stability. Both cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) significantly alter natural..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Renal failure presents a significant challenge in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as they are at high risk for acute kidney injury (AKI), electrolyte imbalances, and fluid overload. The..
