Abstract Left ventricular (LV) distention and pulmonary congestion are major complications inherent to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This study aimed to quantitatively compare the hemodynamic differences between common circulatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Left ventricular (LV) twist is a major component of ventricular mechanics reflecting the helical orientation of cardiac fibres and compensating for afterload mismatch. However, it is not known whether..

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to provide a perspective for the interpretation of exercise capacity (peakVO2) in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (patients with rTOF) by describing the course of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The development of percutaneous structural interventions in patients with acquired heart disease is happening at an exponential rate, and some of this technology is being used to treat patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapy used in severe cardiopulmonary failure. Blood is pumped through an artificial circuit exposing it to nonphysiologic conditions, which promote platelet activation and..

Abstract Background and Objectives Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an antibody-mediated condition that leads to thrombocytopenia and possible thrombosis. Patients with HIT who require cardiac surgery pose a challenge as high..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Postoperative coagulopathic bleeding is common in cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Ideally, real-time information on in-vivo coagulation should be available. However, up to now..

Abstract Objective Dysregulation of local nitric oxide (NO) synthetases occurs during  and reperfusion associated with ,  (DHCA), and reperfusion. Rapid fluctuations in local  occurring in neonates and infants probably contribute to inflammation-induced microglial activation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardioplegia is used to induce cardiac arrest in order to facilitate cardiac surgery in patients supported by cardiopulmonary bypass. It is administered directly into the coronary vessels after the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The effectiveness and safety of non-heparin anticoagulants for the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) are not fully established, and the optimal treatment strategy is unknown. In a systematic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose: Purpose: Condensation that clogs the hollow fibers of the oxygenation and accumulation of plasma leaks reduces oxygenated lung capacity. In this study, artificial We evaluated whether monitoring changes..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: The contribution of fluid temperature to the effect of crystalloid fluid bolus therapy (FBT) in post-cardiac surgery patients is unknown. We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of FBT with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Several aquatic organisms such as loaches have evolved unique intestinal breathing mechanisms to survive under extensive hypoxia. To date, it is highly controversial whether such capability can be..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Timing and causes of hospital mortality in adult patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) have been poorly described. Aim of the current review was to investigate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives: Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass frequently provokes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This can lead to the development of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Both of these can..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common procedure to maintain body perfusion during cardiac surgery. It is associated with a systemic inflammatory response, hemostasis and circulatory dysfunction that can..
