Abstract Background The relationship between lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) and mortality in patients with cardiogenic etiology undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remains unclear. Against this backdrop, the present study is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The inflammatory prognostic index (IPI) is a novel hematological parameter that reflects both inflammatory burden and immune status. Despite several studies on this new index, the prognostic value..

Abstract Background Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) is a life-threatening complication after adult cardiac surgery that frequently necessitates venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Central and peripheral VA-ECMO cannulation strategies generate distinct..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract While veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) has become central in the management of patients in advanced stages of cardiogenic shock due to its relative ease of deployment, there..

Abstract Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a progressive disease that occurs due to fibrotic remodeling of the pulmonary vessels. This leads to increased pressure overload onto the right ventricle,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an essential component of many cardiac surgical procedures, but carries inherent risks related to its reliance on extracorporeal circulation and mechanical circuitry. Mechanical complications, though..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative anemia and red blood cell transfusions are important risk factors for morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. Preoperative anemia is common, with up to 50% of patients presenting..

Abstract This study aims to assess current quality indicators and determine the added value of total area under the threshold (TAUT) and largest area under the threshold (LAUT) for risk..

Abstract Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can improve outcomes following refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); however, access is constrained by geography and resources. This study compared two strategies against the..

Abstract Introduction Standard anticoagulation protocols for patients with trauma-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (TR-ARDS) undergoing venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) are often inapplicable due to high bleeding risks. This study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Acute intestinal ischemia from cardiac surgery is rare but highly lethal. Conventional risk models lack preoperative markers reflecting splanchnic arterial capacity. We hypothesized that subclinical abdominal atherosclerosis predisposes..

Abstract The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in neonates with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) remains one of the more contested frontiers at the intersection..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Preterm infants, especially extremely preterm infants under 28 weeks of gestation, face high mortality rates due to respiratory distress resulting from pulmonary immaturity. Conventional mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane..

Abstract Background Congenital heart disease affects approximately 1% of live births worldwide and remains among the most significant contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Approximately half of them require surgical..

Abstract Deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used in selected procedures such as pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and aortic arch repair. Hypothermia induces metabolic and physicochemical changes that affect hydrogen ion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background/Objectives: Adult patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) frequently require invasive diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, or bedside procedures during ongoing extracorporeal support. These procedures are clinically challenging because ECMO-related anticoagulation,..
