Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) occurs in up to 40%~60% of paediatric patients and increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. A goal-directed perfusion (GDP) strategy aimed at maintaining..

Abstract Objective Conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) serves to hemoconcentrate blood volume to avoid allogeneic blood transfusions. Previous studies have determined CUF volumes as a continuous variable are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Optimal oxygen management during cardiac surgery has not been established, and studies on the effects of perioperative hyperoxia on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are scarce. The association..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The development of standards and guidelines by professional societies offers clinicians guidance toward providing evidence-based care. The ultimate goals of standards and guidelines are to standardize care and improve..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits and harms of a higher versus lower blood pressure target during..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is inevitable external life support in case of cardiac and respiratory failure since the 1970s. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and the requirement of renal replacement..

Background Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) refractory to inotropic support and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) occurs rarely but is almost universally fatal without mechanical circulatory support. In this systematic review and..

Abstract The new coronavirus infection, which was first seen in China in late December, 2019 and eventually became a worldwide pandemic, poses a serious threat to public health. After a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication of cardiac surgery, associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Although the RIFLE criteria serve as..

Perfusfind S.L.

Summary Despite current recommendations on the management of severe peri‐operative bleeding, there is no pragmatic guidance for the peri‐operative monitoring and management of cardiac surgical patients taking direct oral anticoagulants...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Hemolysis, characterized by formation of free hemoglobin (Hb), occurs in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, there is no study of the dynamic changes in red blood cell..

Perfusfind S.L.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the diagnostic value of urinary interleukin-18 (uIL-18) in acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in clinical practice. A total of 103 patients who underwent..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Summary Development and standardization of fibrinolysis methods have progressed more slowly than coagulation testing and routine high‐throughput screening tests for fibrinolysis are still lacking. In laboratory research, a variety..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In critically ill patients monitored with an arterial catheter, the arterial pressure signal provides two types of information that may help the clinician to interpret haemodynamic status better: the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and profoundly affects postoperative mortality and morbidity. There are no validated methods to assess risk of AKI intraoperatively. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is considered a recognized lifesaving support for patients with cardiorespiratory failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload are significant morbidity factors resulting in serious..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiovascular surgery is a serious complication. Little is known about the ability of novel biomarkers in combination with clinical risk scores for prediction..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of cell salvage is recommended when it can be expected to reduce the likelihood of allogeneic (donor) red cell transfusion and/or severe postoperative anaemia. We support and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Fish oil is among the most common natural supplements for treatment of hypertriglyceridemia or prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, concerns about theoretical bleeding risk have led to recommendations..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of in‐hospital acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery by comparing preoperative baseline renal function with renal function..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Fluid resuscitation is critical to perioperative maintenance of adequate preload and cardiac output after cardiac surgery. Liberal use of saline, however, is reportedly associated with an increased risk of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is polyethiological clinical syndrome. During CPB haemodilution develops, which is useful in reducing the risk..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract AIM  This study is based on the hypothesis that the routine use of transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac surgery will influence the surgical decision taken by the surgeon intra-operatively in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may minimize allogeneic red cell transfusion. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to examine the impact of RAP..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction/Aim: The patient’s condition and high-risk nature of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy force clinical services to ensure clinicians are properly trained and always ready to deal effectively with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgical procedures that require prolonged (>90 min) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (, ). Although the presence of AKI after..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery has improved recently with the discovery and validation of novel urinary biomarkers. However, objective tools to predict the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to identify the risk factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after isolated surgical revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass and to develop a..

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of cardiac surgery, even when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is not required. The existing risk models for cardiac..
