Abstract Background Suboptimal tissue perfusion and oxygenation may be the root cause of certain perioperative complications in neonates and infants having complicated aortic coarctation repair. Practical, effective, and real-time monitoring..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study objective To test the hypotheses that in adults having cardiac surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass, perioperative hypotension increases the risk of delirium and atrial fibrillation during the initial five..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technology for the use of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) for the heart and lung protection during operations..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients with bilateral high degree carotid stenosis or occlusion impose high risk for neurological complications during coronary arterial bypass surgery (CABG). Former articles have described successful CABG in patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment is associated with neurological complications among children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Severe variations of arterial CO2 (PaCO2) and O2 (PaO2) tension after ECMO onset..

Abstract Introduction: Although the management of body water balance on cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), especially in children, is essential, little is known how body water composition changes around CPB...

Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and usual interstitial pneumonia are three most common indications for lung transplantation (LuTx) in Poland. As a result of irreversible destruction of..

Abstract Objectives Heparin resistance (HR), defined as a decrease in heparin responsiveness, can result in adverse events with prolonged duration of surgery. Although some clinical risk factors have been suggested,..

Abstract Background: Vasoplegic syndrome (VPS) is defined as systemic hypotension due to profound vasodilatation and loss of systemic vascular resistance (SVR), despite normal or increased cardiac index, and characterized by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background To determine whether maintaining ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) had an impact on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs)...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Surgical research has shifted from the laboratory focus of the mid to late 20th century to a more mixed economy of data science, collaborative and qualitative research, with a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The optimal strategy for cerebral protection during repair of type A acute  has yet to be determined. We sought to determine the impact of differing degrees of hypothermia in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The objective of clinical research is to establish ethically and methodologically sound evidence that can aid clinical decision-making, inform ongoing research and add to the existing body of knowledge...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND Patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease have been found to have better outcomes with coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) than with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but studies in which..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality; therefore, prevention is important. The aim of this study was to systematically assess AKI incidence after cardiac surgery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anesthesiologists are important components of volunteer teams which perform congenital cardiac surgery in low-resource settings throughout the world, but limited data exist to characterize the nature and breadth of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative myocardial infarction is a serious complication affecting a significant portion of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This may arise due to coronary graft thrombosis, a rare..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The decision about whether to use venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiac graft dysfunction (GD) is usually made on a case-by-case basis and is guided by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction and objectives Lactate and its evolution are associated with the prognosis of patients in shock, although there is little evidence in those assisted with an extracorporeal venoarterial oxygenation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Age over 70 years seems to confer poor prognosis for patients under mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Advanced age is usually a relative contraindication. Our objective was to assess the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Stroke has potentially devastating consequences for patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support (VA-ECMO). Arterial cannulation sites for VA-ECMO include the ascending aorta, axillary artery, and femoral artery. However, the..

Abstract Background The VentriFlo® True Pulse Pump (VentriFlo, Inc, Pelham, NH, USA) is a new pulsatile blood pump intended for use during short-term circulatory support. The purpose of this study was..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Rapid reductions in PaCO2 during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are associated with poor neurologic outcomes. Understanding what factors determine PaCO2 may allow a gradual reduction, potentially improving neurologic outcome. A simple..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock is an uncommon but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Temporary mechanical circulatory support devices are being used more often in this setting, and physicians are required..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Patients in the pediatric cardiac ICU are frequently exposed to pharmacologic and environmental factors that predispose them to sleep disturbances and may increase the risk of delirium. In..

Abstract Surgical time-outs are designed to promote situation awareness, teamwork, and error prevention. The pre-incision time-out in particular aims to facilitate shared mental models prior to incision. Objective, unbiased measures..

Abstract The level of evidence of expert recommendations for starting extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is low. Therefore, we reported..

Abstract Drugs intoxications often lead to severe vasoplegia and cardiogenic shock, and VA-ECMO represents a viable therapy option. However, as cardiopulmonary support is not contributing to the removal of the..
