Abstract In the 70-plus years of clinically applied cardiopulmonary bypass, the training of that specialist operator, or perfusionist, has been through several stages. Perfusion was not a field that was..

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed..

Abstract Background: Cesarean sections (C-section) often require blood transfusions in cases of severe bleeding, particularly challenging in Rh-negative pregnancies due to the scarcity of Rh-negative donors, with only approximately 0.3% of..

Abstract Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity and mortality and there is an uncertain volume-outcome relationship, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes. The aim of..

Abstract Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used for refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Although guidelines have downgraded the recommendations for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in CS, escalation from..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as an important intervention for children both preceding and following cardiac surgery. There is a notable lack of comprehensive information regarding neurodevelopmental outcomes...

Abstract Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is associated with acute brain injury (ABI), including central nervous system (CNS) ischemia (defined as ischemic stroke or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury [HIBI]) and..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Continuous cardiac output monitoring is not standard practice during cardiac surgery, even though patients are at substantial risk for systemic hypoperfusion. Thus, the frequency of low cardiac output..
