Abstract Most resuscitated cardiac arrest patients die in the intensive care unit due to hypoxic brain injury []. The pathophysiological process includes disturbed cerebral autoregulation resulting in inadequate blood flow..

Introduction In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), mechanical ventilation can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) through multiple mecha-nisms, including volutrauma, barotrauma, atelectrauma,myotrauma, and biotrauma [1]. In the most..

Abstract A 63-year-old man developed chest pain and dyspnea. Venoarterial-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was applied to the patient due to failing heart after percutaneous coronary intervention. We used an..

Abstract Background Heart transplantation in donation after circulatory death (DCD) relies on warm perfusion using either in situ normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) or ex situ normothermic machine perfusion. In this..

Abstract Background It is currently unclear if active left ventricular (LV) unloading should be used as a primary treatment strategy or as a bailout in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background In adults with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, when conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) alone does not achieve return of spontaneous circulation, extracorporeal CPR is attempted to restore perfusion and..
