Abstract Objective Systemic heparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can significantly affect thromboelastography (TEG). This study investigated the feasibility of adding protamine in vitro to allow assessment of coagulation status using the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To understand if red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are independently associated with a risk of mortality, prolonged , or infectious, cardiac, or renal morbid outcomes. Design A retrospective review...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is a relatively safe and mainstay treatment commonly used in cardiac surgical patients. However, there is limited evidence on clinical effects of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To determine the number of homologous blood transfusions received by canine surgical patients after introducing a cell salvage device (CSD), trends in surgeries requiring blood transfusion, and the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of allogeneic blood products to restore hemostasis during pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with major risks. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in new patient blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged  during  decannulation. Methods The study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the association of RBC transfusions with thrombosis in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compare this with the transfusion of other blood products and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The purpose of this viewpoint is to provide awareness of the current opportunities to enhance a high-value care approach to blood product transfusion. It provides a historical context to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Failure to receive prompt  leads to severe complications if massive  occurs during surgery. For the timely preparation of blood products, predicting the possibility of massive transfusion (MT) is essential to..

Abstract Introduction For Jehovah’s Witness (JW) patients requiring cardiac surgery, various strategies such as preoperative use of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs), intravenous iron (IVI), and non-pharmacologic interventions have emerged to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To estimate whether the association of transfusion and acute kidney injury (AKI) has a threshold of oxygen delivery below which transfusion is beneficial but above which it is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequent in patients after cardiac surgery. This study assessed whether a bundle of care including pre-operative and post-operative administration of  (EPO) with intravenous..
