Abstract Purpose: Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, has shown potential benefits in various surgical settings, but its impact on microcirculation and renal function in cardiac surgery patients remains unclear. Patients and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The connection between perioperative hypothermia and the occurrence of surgical site infections (SSIs) is still not clearly established. This investigation aimed to clarify the potential link between these..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The improvement in liposuction and associated procedures seen in recent years has led to an increase in complications, particularly related to significant blood loss. This study aims to..
