Abstract Introduction Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) are an alternative to unfractionated heparin during pediatric ECMO. We aimed to describe their use and limitations across Europe. Methods Fifty-two pediatric EuroELSO centers..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is reported in 20–30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, leading to poor outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Because the pathophysiology of CS-AKI remains..

Abstract Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are frequent and severe complications in older surgical patients, encompassing postoperative delirium, delayed neurocognitive recovery, postoperative neurocognitive disorder, and long-term cognitive impairment. These complications lead..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background ECMO is indicated for respiratory or cardiopulmonary failure despite high oxygen levels, advanced ventilation, and patient optimization, when persistent hypoxemia/hypercapnia threatens life. Aim Compare characteristics and outcomes of..

Abstract Objectives: Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) events leading to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) most often occur in the ICU in cardiac patients. Since there is little information about using..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of toxic exposure-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases CO elimination, its clinical use is limited by accessibility,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) has traditionally been regarded as a transient and largely reversible physiological disturbance inherent to the administration of general and regional anaesthesia. However, contemporary perioperative outcomes research..
